RB67 - mirror stuck up and locked lever

[rayonline_nz]

My older RB67 body was sent away for some bellow replacement that was unsuccessful, then I found the body was jammed with the mirror stuck up and the lever stuck forward. I have another body that I can use but for some home DIY I thought I could spend a bit of time with this. Anyone have any ideas how I can proceed with this? I have the RB67 repair manual.

Yep, I am in NZ so basically apart from 1 or 2 people here no one repair film cameras sadly.


Cheers.

Edit. I have a friend in Japan so I might ask the person to call Mamiya Tokyo and see if they have any spare parts to have an idea where RB67 users stand in this. I just got an email back from Melbourne Camera Clinic and they said they no longer carry any parts. I might presume that many Mamiya users are just using one of the Phase One bodies.

If your repair ends up needing parts, PM me as I have most Mamiya repair parts, new, for Mamiya medium format down to the long discontinued 35mm line.

Some progress so far for those interested to know. The side panel nothing there. I then took the front panel off with the cocking rod at the bottom of the body. Once that was off I was able to freely cock and uncock the camera body. With the front unit reattach, the first time it was stuck but the 2nd time it worked but the mirror wasn't moving to the right angle. Comparing to my working RB, at the lens mount there are 2 holes that turns CW and CCW that is off the mark so I will have to adjust the angle of that.
