As I remember the Rex o fader is left hand thread. Try turning it the other way.

penetrating oil didn't work (I used Wd-40), I think I applied a considerable torque (don't ask me how much)... I wonder how much the service can charge for having the job done...
thanks anyway

Thanks Scott
I'm going to have a try tonight with some unlocking oil.

But the cog screw that's is stuck is a male one, which goes in the rewind spindle screw that's a female one, so heating the cog up should widen it making it stuck even more...

And I can't heat up the spindle screw which is unaccessible without dismantling the camera... (and both of these things scare me a bit...)

Put a drop of kroil or some other penetrating oil on the cog.  Maybe
heat it up a little with a soldering iron.
