It's actually very easy to remove the shell if you want to take a peak of you're own. i was reluctant to at first, but it's literaly very easy to. Two black screws on front of camera, 2 screws on front where top plate (chrome) and possibly two more chrome on the back. Also you have to remove the 39mm screw mount on front (Don't forget where the black line meets up on the camera which is on the side of the mount). Just remove the bottom door, and push the shell off the internals where it tells you how to cut the film/insert it. If it doesn't pop off, put on bulb, hold on bulb and push the pressure plate down and pull off. be carefull about the two metal springs holding the pressure plate in when it's removed. It could be a beat up/scratched/dirty pressure plate. It could be some film chips on the sprocket inside. if you don't properly cut the film the right length, Film will get stuck inside. Other than that it could only be dirt in there. It's really easy, check out here. I had to patch the focal plane shutter and taking the shell off is needed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/eskimogus/5741590903/ |
