Hello Forum!
I was Looking around a second hand store and found a old Ricoh XR-P for sale. I had a Look the Mirror is in good condition and so is the rest of the camera. Only issue Is that It's Film Advance Lever isnt working Its not Turning over... I was wondering If generally this could be easily fixed?
They selling it for around $20 With a Ricoh 50mm Lense (also In good Condition)
So the Question is, Could I Fix It with out the need of extra parts?

if the film advance lever doesn't move it is probably dur to the shutter being cocked already,
May need new battery to fire the shutter. |

You say its loose, rather than jammed? This suggests something broken in the linkages somewhere, perhaps someone has forced it? It looks like quite a complex electronic camera (although I've never had one), there may be a simple fix but depending on your repair knowledge, I'd suggest that its best to look for a working one elsewhere. |
