I was using said camera yesterday and noticed that the winding crank is a bit loose and wobbly(never noticed before) am I headed for trouble? Who can do an effective repair:? I love the camera

Karl Ehlers is a Rollei expert in Washington. He has done great work for me, and fast.

Essex Camera in NJ did a CLA for me and adjusted the meter to alkaline batteries. Turned around in a week and all was up to snuff.

Define "loose and wobbly."
All Rolleiflex wind cranks
move a bit at their resting
point. I wouldn't rush to
send it out if the camera
is winding film properly.
