There's a small circuit board in the winders and brushes that slide back and
forth on it.  The board is held down by 2 screws which tend to come lose.
Then the board shifts position and the winder malfunctions.  Other problem
could be the md switch in the camera.  Testing with a second winder can
eliminate the body as the problem. Another problem area are the 2 small
contacts on the back of the winder (made for linking up with the 250 back).
On the inside they are spring loaded and must bake good contact together to
form a closed switch.  If there's bad contact or corrosion, winder will stop
working.
