Winfried is right in all three points, but if you think that it is easy: it is NOT, especially if you do this kind of work for the first time. When I disassembled my first Electro 35 I did not exactly know what problems I would be faced with and I was confused by all those colourful tangling wires. Note that working on the aperture requires the complete separation of the shutter from the camera ! I then lost a tiny washer of the shutter mechanism which meant the camera could not be reassembled again. Now that I am aware of the unexpected to happen, this sort of job is a lot easier. I found it helpful to get some basic training on strictly mechanical cameras (Lynxes, Mamiyas, etc.) with no wires in the way. |
