Gee, what ring and where can you get one?
I've started to have problems with 4 of the 5 winders
I have. First I thought it was the batteries but after
putting two different sets of brand new ones in the
winders and testing I eliminated them as the problem.
Then I thought it was camera friction. But then I
tried them out on a newly overhauled by Camtech OM 4T
(which feels and works like a cat's meow after the
overhaul) and get the same result: They miss winding
fully sometime; in sequence shooting they slow down
noticably in a roll of 36. (And the sound tired :) )

PS The winders with the most problems are the the 2s.
I suspect the usage factor is critical. Looks don't
matter. Two of the ugliest have performed flawlessly
unless about 6 months ago; the minty ones have been
temperamental.
