Hello, I have just bought a Praktica TL3 and the frame counter is not moving-I would appreciate it if A kind person would give me some instructions to possibly fix it. Thank You,David.

Hi David,

depending on the current position of the frame counter, there are several possible solutions:

If it is at 36 (or further): With the back-door of the camera opened, look for a small black metallic pin in the upper narrow channel at the right side of the camera-body, close to the frame counter. Try to pull this little pin a bit to the outside with a small screw driver or whatever. The frame-counter will hopefully jump back to the starting position and your problem will (temporarily) be solved. Otherwise you will have to do the following part, anyway.

If it is somewhere between 1 .. 36: You will probably have to open the top-section of the camera-body and bring some clamps or springs back to where they belong. If you are interested, feel free to contact me for a short manual on how to open the body and for some pictures of the frame counter in working conditions.

Bye, Thomas
