I recomend you try not asembling the screws on top cover. In all probablity it should work. In any case what is presented below shd be helful. In any camera when you complete winding and bring back the wind shaft to its normal position, ther is a small pawl that is pushed in to place to stop the wind shaft from winding again. When you press the shutter release fully this pawl is relased and you can wind again. Keeping this in mind you should trouble shoot this problem. The part mentioned can be found in the bottom in most a SLRs and in top in most rangefinders. Do not presume no one has opened the top cover and meddeled with some thing. It is posible the spring pushin/releasing pawl might have not been aseembled back properly or might have been dislocated. In your case since the problem disappears as soon as you put back the cover, examine carefully, particularly the front part. It is also posible that some screw fixing top cover is too long and is interfearing with the pawl. Closeup photos of both bottom and top showing everything related to wind mechanism shoud help readers solve your problem more easily. |
