Hi I was wondering if any of our knowledgeable members could enlighten me to the difference between the Winder & Winder II for the 139. I can't find any source for what changed, when or why.

Without digging them out to compare, I think the only functional difference was the interlock on the rewind lever on the Winder II - and also on the 'matching' Yashica FX winder II - that kept the user from accidently flipping the camera into rewind mode. You have to push the interlock in before you can move the lever push the lever over before you can press in the release button, that pressed the rewind button on the camera's base.
There might have been a slight increase in the frames per second speed with the 2nd version, but if there was, it wasn't terribly significant that I can remember.
EDIT: I found the manuals for an original FX (D) winder, and for the 139 Winder II, and they both state the winders are 2 FPS in continuous mode... so the only difference might be the rewind lock.
