[OM] OM-1 winding problem

I bought an OM-1 recently to obtain the attached lens.  The body has a
problem, however, and I want to see if any list member might know the
cause/solution.  The wind lever moves freely and does not engage at all.
I pulled the bottom cover, the plastic battery container, and then the
take-up spool.  I could not see anything obviously wrong.  The metal
shaft that extends down from the wind lever was there, and turned when I
moved the lever, but did not seem to engage anything.  I am able to wind
the camera using a Winder-1.  I was afraid to delve any further into it
without first finding out more information.  If anyone has any
suggestions or comments, I would greatly appreciate them.  This may be a
job for Mr. Hermanson, though I basically got the camera for free, thus
my bravery in trying to look into it myself.

Thanks,
James Kiker
