mamiya c330 film quirk

I am experiencing a film advancing problem with my TLR. It is advancing the
film inconsistently, but correct, most of the time. It may start off
correctly, but by the end of the film the last frame may be only half of a
frame. Any suggestions to fix, other than buy a new camera? Thanx

Sounds like the spacing control may be a little out of whack, the camera is
repairable.

Could be a loading error.

From the OP it sounded to me like the space between the frames was
increasing or overlapping, given "It may start off correctly". To me this
means the first frame is complete and that there is a spacing error.
A spacing error, if that is what the OP was about, is not generally caused
by a loading error in the C330.
Not loading correctly the film correctly, failing to align the arrow with
the start mark, will affect the starting position of the first frame as well
as the ending position of the last frame; not the spacing.
