[photo-3d] Kodak Camera Questions

[markaren@xxxxxxxxx]

I cleaned up an old Kodak stereo camera I aquired awhile back. I tested
the camera using a roll of print film on a mildly warm day....everything
seemed fine as far as exposure, no light leaks or excessive frame
overlaps etc. This week I loaded in a roll of slide film and noticed
that the film advance did not " click stop" to the next frame. I had to
watch the shutter mechanism and try to guess when to stop advancing the
camera. Upon opening the back and advancing the gears by hand, the
tension would vary, but I could continue to roll the gears again and
again. Can I fix this problem myself?
BTW, I attended a camera show and inspected 2 very clean Kodak stereo
cameras ( $120.00 each) and noticed that each of these cameras did the
very same thing..........I told the vendor that I believed both cameras
were broken....he smiled and disagreed, claiming that he would easily
get $110+ for each camera. He was not the least bit concerned that the
gears keep turning. Am I missing something here, or have I just
inspected 3 Kodak's with identical problems? What's going on? Thanks.
