Anyone know where there is a downloadable repair manual for the old pre-war Super Ikonta B? Specifically want to lift off the top to clean the viewfinder and need to recouple the lens to the rangefinder. Thank you. |

You might check Hans Kerenski's Flickr site to see if he has taken one apart. I seem to remember him working on one recently, don't know if he has gotten done with it yet.

Phil, no, Hans Kerensky (me) never had a B in his hands though he would have liked that very much ;-) |

Thank you. That was as good as I needed it to be. I did do a search before posting the question but this site did not show up. Thanks again. |

Sorry about the spelling, Hans. And the memory ain't so good at times either.

Thanks for the handy link, I've been wanting to clean/replace the beam splitter in mine.
Hans, Let me know if you want to fondle my 532/16. I'll bring it to the Fotografica Fair ;) |

You're welcome Rick. Indeed David Richerts nice page doesn't show up in a regular Google search but i knew that it existed somewhere on his site.
Sure i'm planning to go to Nieuwegein on the 11th March and would love to have a look at your Ikoflex. |

I meant my Super Ikonta 532/16 (or Super Ikonta B for you Americans reading this). 
The Ikoflex 853/16 was already on the list to bring along. |

Rick, sorry for misreading your post, YES, OF COURSE, bring that 532/16 with you !! My hands are starting to itch right now just by the thought of wanting to hold it :-) |
