Just got an Ikonta 35 with the 2.8 Xenar lens. To my surprise, this model does not have the holes in the advance wheel to mate up with the eveready case ! However, I do have a 3.5 Tesar version and if I can figure it out, I want to swap the advance wheels on the two. I removed the rewind release button to expose the threaded post in the middle of the advance wheel, but the wheel is apparently held on by something more. Any advice on how to remove the wheel (without a shower of tiny springs and screws) ? Thx |

From what I can recall from working on one of these a few years ago, the advance wheel should indeed just unscrew anticlockwise. Inside the camera there's a bright metal flange that protrudes underneath the take-up spool, and if you can find some means of stopping that from turning you should be able to get the wheel off without damaging the ratchet etc.
Incidentally, can you remind me how to get the rewind release button off?
Thanks
