----- Original Message ----- From: TM < Subject: RE: Motor Drive problems
I just checked Pentax USA, they no longer support the Motor Drive Eh! either. If the camera does what you describe without the drive, then likely the film advance is weak, and should be adjusted while it still works. I am really not sure if a flakey drive can cause what you are having problems with or not..
