Edit: sorry I thought you meant the camera winder
Apparently the winder mechanism on the later MX's had a smoother action as it was better engineered. The later MX's had a plastic film holder indicator on the back door as opposed to the earlier metal film holders.
Seems to run true as both mine are fine. Both I got for free, one is battered and covered in battery corrosion, last serviced in 1989 as I found a sticker. The winder is perfect despite the camera looking like it sunk with the Titanic. It also has a focus screen in it that I cannot find on the internet.

"In a photographic context I don't like the use of the word 'shot' as where I live this word refers to an extreme act of violence and not the beautiful craft of photography"
