Manual for Bronica Motor Drive E

[MikeK]

Would any kind APUG'er happen to have a PDF version of the manual for the Motor Drive for the Bronica ETR-S (the version that takes 8 AA batteries)?

Thanks

I think that's the version I have. Is it eight or six batteries?

What do you need to know? No manual that I know of.

According to the Bronica website I have a

Motor Winder E not a Motor Drive E. If that makes sense.

No markings on the winder/drive - except for Zenza Bronica - I have the version with 8 AA batteries.

Having problems getting it aligned and winding the film to the first frame.

IIRC mounting mine wasn't the easiest either. So I just left it on -) Do you have an ETRSI? Or an older model? The winder supposedly fits the older models better.

Assuming my newer model is the same. You turn it on. Hit the shutter release and it advances to the first frame. This assumes it's mounted correctly. Needs to make good connection with where the winder crank was mounted.

I think I have figured it out now. The problem was lining up the red marks on the drive coupler and the shaft. Seems to be very sensitive. I have the ETR-S model.
