Hi Jan, the service manual is not very helpful in this issue. If you have the top cap off and you look on top of the Rollei 35 you should see the primary transport wheel which is normally screwed to the advance lever. It interferes with the secondary transport wheel which might be of plastic or of brass. The secondary wheel has a tiny hole. This is the upper attachement point of the spring. If you carefully look at this spring you should which end to connect here. The other end of the spring has the form of a hook. It must be hooked to a tiny rail close to the viewfinder. The best procedure to reattach the spring should be: - remove the primary transport wheel - take the secondary wheel out (unscrew it first) - hook the spring into the secondary wheel - re-insert the sec. wheel with the spring - turn the wheel counterclockwise until the other end of the spring hooks to the right place automatically - give the spring a bit of pretension and mount the primary wheel The last point is delicate. Propably you will need several attempts. If the primary and the secondary wheel are not sychronised in the right way you need two strokes to transport the film and to cock the shutter. I did this allways by try and error and I cannot give an exact description. Good luck, Reiner |
