Batteries? Or film chip

Greetings

I would suspect there is a small piece of dirt or film chip stuck in the gears. In an area where it can't be seen. A good cleaning should fix your problem. In the film days I sent in my gear to be cleaned and lubed once a year, same for digital, although with digital it's cheaper to buy another one, like a TV. Your film camera has already out lasted most digitals.
