Revere 33 info

[P3D Michael I. Weisman <drmike5@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having lurked and enjoyed reading this board for quite some time now I am finally 
motivated to post something myself.  I recently acquired a Revere 33 in what appeared to 
be mint condition.  Just picked up my first roll of film and see that it advances 2 
frames per picture- in other words, 2 blank unexposed frames between exposures.  Upon 
closer exam of the camera I see that, sure enough, the frame counter does indicate that 
2 frames are advanced before the wind knob locks and the shutter is cocked.  

So the question is... is this a common problem on the Revere?  Any suggestions about 
repair.. I would like to tackle this myself but is this not a good first project?  If 
not a good do-it-yourself project, any suggestion about a "Revere specialist"?  To make 
matters worse, it appears that the set screws in the wind and rewind knobs have been 
stripped making access to the top plate more of a chore.  I assume I would have to drill 
them out, tap, and replace with a larger diameter.

Any and all info would be appreciated either by post to the group or E-mail.  And thank 
you Dr. George for all of the good information and supplies you have provided me.
