eBay Germany averages on this stuff:
Winder 1 32 EUR (102 sales)
Winder 2 53 EUR (194 sales)
OM-1 TR 25 EUR ( 33 sales)
So the OM-1 TR isn't so much off a Winder 1. But
as stated previously, it offers single, continious
and intervalometer winding. Soligor built things
like that for Canon A series and Minolta X as well.
At those prices I guess any fixing -- if not done
by oneself and with enthusiastic engagement -- is
more expensive than *baying for another one.
