Allo,
Bought a working Exa II, after having test fired it a dozen times. Came home with a large smile, deposited it on the table, lighted a cigarette for the occasion and took the Exa back: it was now jammed solid! Similarly, the same also happened to a previous Exa II.
Yes, its reputation is known...but...
Is this invariably a recurrent problem or is the jamming possibly originating from diverse causes?
Is it possible to really make it working?
Thank you very much.

Hi Léon,
I don't know what part of the world you're in, but I have a copy of the Ihagee factory service/repair manual (Reparaturanweisung) for the Exa covering the Exa, Exa I, Exa Ia, Exa II, Exa IIa, Exa IIb and Exa 500. Only thing is, it's in German.
I run a small reprints business, but this isn't offered on my website because at the moment most of my trade is in the UK and I don't think there would be a wide enough call for it to warrant the cost of transling.
However, it's scanned in, and as several people have asked for copies I run them off to order. It was intended for mechanics at Ihagee agents, and it assumes a basic knowledge of working on cameras.
If you, or anyone else, are interested email me off list and I will quote a price including p&p. It's only 36 or so double sided A4 pages, so it isn't expensive.

Allo Peter,
Thanks a lot for your kindness: sure that I'm interested, even if technical German is far away from my very basic knowledge of the tongue. Please let me have your quote via cheapest Her Majesty's mail: I am in Montréal, Canada. Could you retrieve my email address through these pages?
Have been away from the screen for a few days and I apologize for the delay in answering.
Thanks to Roy, too, for his comment.
Enjoy your hobby!
