Thank you for the advice. As suggested, I removed the mount and found the small plastic gear and the spring beneath. Apparently the coupling between the small gear and the spring is lost and turning the gear does not engage the spring and no tension. I decided not to go further because apparently it will need further disassembling with removal of the leather and the metal frame. Risking messing up the whole camera, I put a few drops of AA superglue between the small gear and the spring beneath. The small window next to the mount can barely allowed me to do so. After a 5 minute wait, I turned the gear and the gear and the spring coupled again!!! As suggested, I tuned the spring tension and it is now in working order again. Thank you very much for the advice. |
