I got a Super Ikonta C that must have had some hard times. All screws are more or less maimed etc., and few things work. But that makes it an acceptable object for me to tinker with, so ..

Winding the film was very stiff and the double exposure prevention did not work. After stripping the mechanism down, I found that the plate and the cam-follower wedged in the slit of the shutter release channel.

Someone had pressed the shutter release hard enough to acutally bend the corner of the plate!
