Pull out the knob,remove the slot head screw from collar and pull knob off camera.Now remove the collar,the large chamfer on collar points toward camera ie it rests on the bearing tube.Remove rewind fork from inside camera.The fork should have on it a coil spring and a hard steel shim washer-the washer is there to stop the spring wearing away the plated brass rewind fork.ie washer goes on first then spring. Clean the tube and the fork and check that the fork rotates freely in tube.Polish with fine emery cloth until it does,if it is stiff.Put a little grease on the bearing surfaces and reassemble.Do not forget to grease the shaft of the pull out knob. If still stiff check the spring,it should have only 3 widely spaced full turns on it.I have seen the wrong type of spring used here.The spring is there to stop the knob rattling about and add a SMALL amount of friction to the assembly. |
