E-10 Error on Pentax 67ii

What I have managed to do now is open the back (with the camera in a changing bag) and manage to fiddle and wind the film on a couple shots. I then closed the back, removed the camera from the changing bag and the error 'E-10' had dissappeared. So it seems the error is something to do with the film winding mechanism possibly? I do remember reading somewhere of other photographers who had issues with the film winding.
Anyway, the eBay seller has agreed to take the camera back if the problem persists. So I will try and run at least 4-5 rolls (mixture of 120/220) through it this week to see whether the problem re-occurs. If it does come back I will try and return to seller. Does this seem like the best option? I'm just concerned that the camera seizes up when I'm out on a location (on a hike or up a mountain) somewhere...

Seems like an equitable solution. You could try ringing Robin at Harrow Technical and see what he has to say about the problem. K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks Womble. Actually I live in Hong Kong right now so probably not the easiest option to send to Harrow... I did not know about Harrow Technical or Robin before but I've just googled and found the contact details. Maybe they could give a bit of advice over email...

Robin is generally very helpful so worth dropping him a line.

Well, I was so looking forward to running film through the Pentax 67ii body that I purchased recently. Unfortunately I've hit a problem on my very first roll. About 4 shots into a roll ok 220 film the LCD dial has stuck at showing 'E-10' and the shutter will not fire. I have checked the manual and it says that any errors with a first numeric of '1' mean that the camera has to be taken to a Pentax Service Center. Very dissapointing but I guess that is one of the chances you take with buying equipment on eBay. I will write to the guy who sold me the body too but I just wonder if anyone here had any advice on this specific error?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
