Hi,
I am looking for some help with my beloved ROLLEIFLEX T. I broke the film advanced by recklessly/forcefully winding up film that wasn't properly inserted.
I am still struggling to fully understand on how the film advance mechanism works on my particular model. However. I can say that the transmission from wheel A to wheel D works. What doesn't work is the transmission from C (where the lever will be attache too) to A.
You can see in the picture that B is small metal block that probably has to slide into wheel A's inside mechanism to transfer the force. There are two things I don't understand though.
1) Is this done only by gravity? (e.g. is slides in then pointing down and stays for 180 degrees until its slides down again? I
2) As you can see the small metal block B has chipped corners. Now I'm not sure if it should be like this and how this benefits or causes the issues that I have with he force from C to A not transmitting.
My Question is: How is the mechanism really intended to work and if I already understood that right, what options do I have to fix my problem?
Any help is highly appreciated. I am really attached to this camera and it is in very good condition otherwise.
Thanks
