Wondering if anybody has any experience in reparing the Aufofocus module on an old P3800 twin lens Rollei Projector and could provide some basic operating tips...
The Auto Focus continually cycles back and forth without actually stopping, and short of just cutting the power to this feature and focusing manually does anyone know what I should be looking for?

Thanks
Marco

I have repaired this on my p3800
There is a small circuit board below to the front of the two lens.
This controls the auto focus using a foto eye for each.
The foto eye measures a fixed distance on the slide in place.
The foto eyes could have move out of their operating range or the board could have a bad component on it. I found a bad transistor on mine.
If you would be interested in selling your p3800 I would be interested in buying it for parts.
The mechanics inside are wore and I need parts which I can not obtain.
