Thanks for the info. I've just tested it with some old film and it seems that I got everything right. Just from the curiosity - when there is no film loaded, with a rewind button depressed, mowing the advance lever causes the take-up spool to rotate although two weels to the left are not moving. When I loaded the film it didn't move. So, the question is - is the advance lever's movement lost on some type of clutch so the film isn't winded which would cause the perforation to be torn?
