Thanks for your quick help. I'll try the talcum powder and the "window shade" idea. I can see that disassembling the whole re-winder would probably result in it totally unwinding. I can't imagine REwinding it after that. Jasper |

No problem. I found this Youtube video, too, that may help. |

I think I found the error in the rewinder. The coiled spring had slipped off a reel or take-up wheel of some sort. Now that it is back on it seems to be working. I'll let you know if it was a good fix. Jasper |

Your final conclusion was the key for me. Thanks for sharing of your experience. (You're right about the possibility of injury. If the spring suddenly gets out of control and unwinds itself I think it could do some serious damage to fingers.) Jasper |
