Over the weekend I managed to get it all working again. The camera is ready to go. The only thing not working a 100% is the linkage that locks the shutter release lever until the film has been advance far enough for the first exposure. The 70-year-old extension spring isn't strong enough to move it any more. To that end a previous owner cut a slit in the side cover so the linkage can be moved with a sharp object. Nice going Bubba! I can probably fix it by smoothing out the sliding surfaces, a dab of grease and a stronger spring. http://www.flibweb.nl/flibweb/cpg143/albums/userpics/10001/ikoflex05.jpg |
