Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 07:36 am:        I recently found a Ricoh 35 ZF at a thrift shop in good working order. However, the viewfinder is very dirty. Removing the top for cleaning seems easy enough, but I can't seem to remove the film advance lever. The pin screw on the top spins (in both directions) but never seems to loosen. Am I doing something wrong? Is the thread possibly stripped? Any help would be appreciated.   Bossman Tinkerer Username: Bossman Post Number: 95 Registered: 02-2009 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
