Film should advance normally with motor drive as that bypasses the top 
part of the wind mechanism. I really don't like the wind mech in the 2S, 
3, 4.  Instead of a gear / pawl setup like OM-1/2 (which has it's own 
problems), they employed a sliding clutch that rides inside inside a 
gear.  Hard to rebuild, all parts not available.  Usually requires 
replacement of entire top wind assembly.
