I have one Salyut, one Salyut-S and the other day I found a very nice Kiev-88 sold as is with a stuck shutter. I wanted to try a repair, and successful or not it was to be an interesting self-learning experience.
I am aware of Steve Ash docs, the repair summary:
http://kievaholic.com/Kiev88_repair_manual.pdf
and:
http://kiev88.atwebpages.com/
the Tendo manual (good drawings but no instructions)
and I am trying to make sense fo this detailed one
http://fotorefit.ru/remont_kiev-88/1.html
there was a german book "Kiev-88/88TTL Reparaturhandbuch, Wolfgang Weiner, 1994" impossible to find these days
So, on this Kiev-88, the shutter button is stuck. When playing a bit with the rewind knob, sometimes it triggers, but only the mirror moves up, the curtain doesn't open, just sits there.
I have opened for inspection, and have a general idea of the inner working but can't figure out the parts and way the trigger button does release the curtain tensioners.
In fact I can't find out if the issue is the braking system, or tensioners or both or something else....
I can move the main upper wheel of the shutter mechanism by hand, which makes the curtain open/close.
But i don't see/understand what parts are involved in triggering the release of the curtain.
The wheels under the rewind knob are functional: the one setting the shutter time, the big one actioning the film back advance and the main shaft getting down to the lower mechanism. But maybe some timing was wrecked?
I can partially disassemble one of my working Salyut in order to see the mechanisms in action, but I prefer to find out without.
So, any clues?
