Peter,
I should think you have rewind problems with your V-Pan. Last I 
checked it worked like every medium format camera I've ever used, the 
camera winds the film from the supply reel to the take up reel. If 
you've discovered a way to make the camera rewind , I'd sure like to 
hear about it!

Chett is no longer making the V-Pan. Last I heard he was running a 
bed & breakfast in St. Louis and recovering from open heart surgery 
(that was middle of last year). You might want to find a good camera 
repairman or machinist in your neighborhood or in Boston. 
Mechanically the V-Pan is a pretty simple (if ingenious) camera.
