\n \n 1.-TOP COVER DISASSEMBLING<\/u>\n <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

1.1.- WINDING LEVER<\/p>\n \n \n
\n
\n

\n STEP 1:<\/b>\n Remove the cover of the winding lever.\n Use a rubber tool or a gauge as recommended by Tomosy in his book\n (danger! The cover can be marked)..\n
\n STEP 2:<\/b>\n You will find 2 small washers. The first one has\n the typical “E” form.\n
\n STEP 3:<\/b>\n Remove the screw (counter clock-wise).\n
\n STEP 4:<\/b>\n Remove the winding lever. Under the winding lever\n you will find two more washers.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n

1.2.- SPEED AND ASA DIAL<\/p>\n \n \n
\n
\n

\n STEP 1: <\/b>\n Set speed 1\/500 and 100 ASA (not\n shown in the picture). The cover of the dial is glued. Remove\n it with an screwdriver.\n
\n STEP 2: <\/b>\n Remove the central screw. The slot is very thin.\n So, you have to sharpen an screwdriver. This screw is removed\n counter clock-wise. \n
\n STEP 3:<\/b>\n These are (ordered left to right) the pieces you\n will find in the dial.\n <\/p>\n

1.3.- REWIND LEVER<\/p>\n \n \n
\n

\n STEP 1:<\/b>\n Remove the rewind lever as usual.\n
\n STEP 2:<\/b>\n Under the rewind lever you will find an screw. You\n have to remove it counter clock-wise (May be very tight). Use the\n appropriate tool. Remove the black plastic disk.\n <\/p>\n <\/td>\n

1.4.- HOT SHOE<\/p>\n \n \n
\n STEP 1:<\/b>\n Remove 3 screws from the hot shoe.\n
\n STEP 2: <\/b>\n You will find a plastic “U”shape washer.\n Desolder the blue wire.\n <\/td>\n 		 <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n

1.6.- TOP COVER REMOVED<\/p>\n \n \n
\n
\n

\n \n <\/p>\n

The lightmeter is fixed by 2 screws. Furthermore\n is glued but it is easily removed.<\/p>\n

The prism and focus screen are also glued (Don`t\n try to disassemble). This block is fixed by 3 screws (see picture).\n If you remove it, be careful! There is a small lever coupled to\n the mirror mechanism. It is the lever you see through the viewer\n indicating if the shutter is cocked or not.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n

\n
\n \n 2.-BOTTOM COVER DISASSEMBLING<\/b>\n <\/u>\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n
\n

\n \n <\/p>\n

\n Remove 4 screws.\n
\n\n You will see the variable resistor (left side) fixed by 3 screws.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n

\n
\n \n 3.- FRONT DISASSEMBLING<\/b>\n <\/u>\n <\/p>\n

\n \n Peel\n off the front of the camera and remove 4 screws. You will be able to remove\n the mirror cage in one block. Be careful. Several wires come from the\n lightmeter board (sited in the bottom) and may become unsoldered.\n <\/p>\n

Be careful too with the wire coming from the synchro of the lateral part\n to a small plate sited venid the prism and lightmeter (see picture). It\n is better to unsolder it.<\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n\n\n\n
