LX winder speed

Hi,
This happens if it has been fired away from the body. When you switch it on, it is trying to wind on one frame but as it does not get the "wound" signal from the body it doesn't stop until it thinks there is a problem. The 5FPS motor drive is the same. It doesn't sound like a Dud but remember the quoted speed is up to 2 FPS. You will only get this with a very fast shutter speed.

I recently bought an LX winder but I'm not sure it's running at correct speed.
My LX is away being repaired at the moment so I can't test it properly, but when I switch it on, it winds for what looks like 1 frame length. However, this takes about 1 sec which doesn't suggest the 2fps I've read it's capable of.
Can anyone confirm this for me? Just switching it to C without a body attached should do it. Just making sure I haven't bought a dud...
thanks!
