I just bought another 167MT (sold off the last one and regretted it).
I have shot a test roll and the camera shoots past the last frame - instead of stopping. ie. after 36+ frames, the shutter and film advance mechanism still keeps advancing, causing the film sprocket holes to tear. All photos are OK axecpt the last frame which has multiple exposures.
The camera is supposed to stop advancing, so that the user can initiate the rewind switch.
* Does anyone else have this experience?
* Is there a quick and easy fix?
* Does any know how the 167MT detects that it is out of film - is it the advance motor that senses the extra torque, or is it like newer bodies that have an infrared sensor?
I have used the reset button and tried fresh batteries and then run a test roll. Same problem.
Thanks in advance.
