They CLA'ed one of them, which included repairing and adjusting the film winding assembly, repairing and adjusting the film loading assembly, and basic CLA. With the other camera, they said "damaged beyond economical repair." The damaged one is the better of the two, because it goes to 1/1000th of a second. I'm thinking of trying to repair it on my own. The thing that I've noticed that is mostly wrong with it is that the aperture blades are stuck wide open. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to take this rangefinder apart and get to the aperture blades to fix them? And if so, would it be extremely difficult for a complete novice at camera repair? I would appreciate any replies. Thanks!
