Winder ME II

I've dug out and old ME II winder I had. It all looks perfect - remembered to take out the batteries all those years ago! When I stuck some new batteries in it seems to work but only continuously - when either C or S are selected and both off and on camera.

I spotted a couple of other threads on here with the same problem and the suggested solutions were - clean the contacts. I've done that with no effect. I opened it up - pretty simple inside - but unfortunately i couldn't find anything untoward. Anything else I could try?

I found this online; Pentax Winder MX Manual.

In there it says;

------------------------
Note:
If the winder is activated off-camera then it will wind continuously until it is turned off. Fitting it in to a camera will cause it to reset to its proper starting position.
------------------------

I no longer have a camera to fit my ME II Winder to. Can anyone else who has one (and a camera to fit it to) confirm if this note applies to both the Winder MX and the Winder ME II please?

If this is true then I guess my ME II winder is working as it should?
