Hello Guys,
I'm new to this forum. I read a lot of here while I was repairing my Konica S2, so I hope you can help me with my problem with my "new" Leica M3.

Thanks in forward and best regards

That's my problem:
2nd curtain of my M3 doesn't close completely. Today after 35 Pics the Advancelever cocked at half way. I thought the film was at its end, opened up the M3 and saw the second curtain half way open. Hmm, by dipping carefully with my fingertip the curtain closed completely. After trying out with several times the curtain stays more or less times half open. The slower the time, the less it stayed open, the faster the time it stays open more often. Everytime the curtain stayed open a little dip with the fingertip brought it to the right position. When the Camera is closed a little hit on the top and the curtain closes. In faster times the curtain closes some times in time difference.

Any ideas for this problem? Any solutions for fixing it? Please help me
