I recently acquired a well-worn old Rollei 35 (no letter suffix, Singapore version with Schneider lens, if it matters) which misses low shutter speeds intermittently. Below 1/60, shutter speeds will vary anywhere between the designated speed and 1/60.
So I have two questions, basically: first, is this likely to be a "CLA" kind of problem, or is this a worn part. The camera didn't cost that much, and it isn't in prime collectable shape, so real repair is an unlikely option.
Second, if it is amenable to cleaning, etc., does anyone have any service hints or instructions? |

First, you have to hold the shutter button down for the entire exposure, as the pallet thingie is disconnected when the shitter button is up.
Second, the escapement is easily accessed for flush cleaning with the front cover removed. I think I saw a manual on the Web somewhere, for money getting one would be no problem. |
