Can somebody 'talk me through' removing the shutter assembly from an Olympus Pen FT (half-frame 35mm SLR), please So far I've removed the base plate : Take off the battery cap and battery, remove the 2 obvious screws, take off the base plate and remove the rewind button before it disappears.. And removed the top plate : Unscrew the button from the middle of the self-timer lever, undo the left-hand thread screw down that hole, remove the lever Open the back, take off the rewind knob in the usual way Take out the 3 screws (2 round the rewind spindle, 1 under the winding lever), ease off the top plate Unsolder the (white) wire from the back of the flash socket And the lens mount : Undo 5 obvious screws, centre-top one is different And peeled back the leatherette on the front. There seem to be 5 screws on the front that hold the shutter in place. Loosening them lets things move, but I don't want to go any further without (a) knowing if I should remove other stuff (viewing optics, exposure meter) first (b) knowing if I need to maintain the mesh of any gears. |
