You can do it. Especially on a Zenit. They are not difficult to work on, and actually can be fun. Here is a trick you can use so that you never forget nor lose parts nor assemble them in the wrong sequence. Really! On your work surface (or a piece of cardboard), mount a piece of common masking tape, sticky side facing up. As you remove a piece, stick it to the tape. Work right to left, left to right, up to down, down to up, whatever direction is most normal to you, and feel free to make notes on the cardboard, if needed...example: "Start here" or "this piece is reverse threaded" or "this is just a bug that wandered onto the tape...he doesn't need to go back into the camera." You can even use two pieces of tape...right side/left side of camera, if this makes sense to you. This is a watchmaker's trick, and it can also be used in the disassembly/assembly of almost anything small (including electronic circuits...great for those). Jon |
