Y’all, I am so deep into this camera and making progress, but a little stumped on this jammed curtain.
So far I have fixed the following issues:
- Winding was jammed but all the gearing looked good. Removed the winding stack and found the bearings out of place and short two. Replaced the bearings and the winding isn’t jammed.
- Mirror box was in a weird state, removed it, cleaned it, working.
- The little hook at the end of the mirror charging lever was bent out of shape and preventing the shutter release from triggering.
Now I have everything together, mirror box goes in, winding advances, shutter release triggers, the second curtain (rear curtain) releases, the front curtain? Jammed.
I realized I don’t know if i’ve seen that curtain move and I’m not sure how to charge or release it manually. Hoping someone can give me some advice.
Thanks!
