If you have a 6x7 with wind on problems this is how to solve it, don;t touch the top of the camera in any way go to the loading catch on the bottom (wind on side ) and dismantle there is a notch that stops it turning full circle file off the notch then on the face that is in contact with the film spool fit two small screws that go into the film spool at this point you can wind your film on using the bottom catch the film counter and clutch are all operational . your wind on lever just winds the shutter.
I fitted a round knob to the bottom catch for ease. Bacause the top winder was still moving the film slightly I bored out the top of the empty film spool making the camera film winder obsolete. you just have to remember you wind your shutter and film seperately No one fixes wind on faults on 6x7s it is a write off so you have nothing to loose

Storage should not be an issue because of the expected life of the white paper there is no such thing as white ink so the white of the paper should last indefinitely in all conditions the same as photosensative paper

I have recently contacted Ilford over their gallerie paper yellowing,I have quite a large ammount of their paper stored with other papers in the same conditions and it yellows,looking at some prints stored I can pick out the Ilford paper by the yellowing borders.I think this is a very serious flaw turning pictures sepia in quite a short time.Ilford papers have not given me any explanation for this and stopped answering my emails.Am I the only one it happens to?
