It fires when I press the shutter but is stuck in the middle. Also many times when I cock the shutter (which is a bit hard) makes a squeak sound

It also has an uneven travel of the shutter that for example at 1/1000 it doesn't fully expose the area (I can see that with the camera open against a strong light).

Sooo, this camera needs som grase and love. How do I start? my general question is that I don't find any guide about where it needs oil and where it needs grase.

EDIT: it was something related with the lever to use FL lenses stepped down, now it works. Anyway I am lucking for some instructions regarding the lubrication points of the camera for the others issues.

Generally cleaning comes before lubricating.

There may be information about this in the service manual:



Videos

Fix Old Cameras is always a good source for these typ of cameras:




Hope this helps ✌️


In another thread Ive got recommend to clean and grase before adjusting travel courtain like in the video.

Thank you for the service manual, I didnt have that, but is not very specific about lubrication points.
