I bought this at estate sale today. for life of me I can,t figure out how to get film advance plunger to pop out on side. It moves freely in about 1/16 inch but that,s all I can get it to do. I can,t find any thing out on net. anyone own one of these beauty,s. Thanks. James |

The plunger is supposed to pop out when you are
holding it lever viewfinder side up. Pushing the
plunger in and releasing it should allow the
plunger to pop out. When you turn it upside down
and push the plunger in it should stay in.
There is a little horseshoe shaped latch that
slides over a the grooved portion of the plunger.
The old lubricants have gummed up preventing the
latch from moving. Try putting a few drops of
lighter fluid around the plunger button and also
open up the bottom and put a few drops from that
side also and let it soak. It may free up eventu-
ally. |

Thanks for help. Plunger apparently was gummed up with your advice and little pressure on end of plunger inside with knife blade it popped out. I still need to degrease things since plunger won,t stay locked in now.It did come with both film canisters that was plus. Thanks Again. James |
