Anyone have one, or some exploded views? My 6 locked up on me mid-roll after changing a lens. After taking the film out, the shutter release button unlocked, but the camera doesn't trip. The mirror is down, and the front ring that engages the lens is in cocked position.

I saw that post (I've googled this like crazy); it describes how to get camera into cocked position, which mine already is.
I've seen references to an "unjamming manual"--anyone have it?

Somewhere in this Thread there is Paul Langmead talking about how to unjam. Have a look here :

If somebody knows where to download a repairmanual or a spareparts list of the Kowa Six i'm also interested as i just the other day got a cardbox full of (only numbered) spareparts.
