I bought an Agfa Billy record III.
The rangefinder dial is stuck. I can´t manage to open the top plate of the camera. it doesn´t have the screws that other folder agfa cameras(like isollete) has.
Anyone have any idea how to open it?
thanks |

I removed the top cover once. Have a look at my set about that on Flickr :

Hallo Hans,
what an excellent documentation. Could you kindly give me a brand name for the grease you were using for the lens thread? I have 2 Isolettes which suffer from the usual stuck focusing. Being in Austria there is a chance I can buy the product here as well.
Thanks in advance

Hello Martin,
Which grease i use depends a bit on how much play the frontlens has in the thread. Generally i use LiquiMoly LM47 "Langzeitfett" ballbearing grease (MoS2 based). This is sold in a local automotive shop.
When there is much play however i use a Lithium based ballbearing grease from the company Eurol. This is sold in a local bicycle shop. |

Hallo Martin,
Good to see these are also available in Österreich !
Sometimes you have to mix your own concoctions like this one :
