Jamming up is a major problem with the Periflex series. Search the archive - June 2006 Jammed Periflex. Query by Keith Roberts and the informative replies by RJ.
www.luxcamera.co.uk/pages/Antiqua/Corfield/Periflex.htm
The above link is to R. J. Lam's web site. Try and contact him, as from memory he knows/knew of a repairer somewhere in your neck of the woods. You will also find plenty of information on Google - do not attempt a DIY repair unless you have some working knowledge of these Corfield products. Today the population of jammed Periflex bodies greatly outweighs the working population. |

Please don't bin it! Even a non working Periflex is of interest, and of significant value even. |

Another thought - I have got one of these Gold Stars, also jammed. I pulled down the periscope with my fingernail, tripped the shutter and it sprang back up again. After doing this a couple of times I could suddenly operate the film wind again and put a film through it. Sadly halfway through the film it jammed again and couldn't be revived. You try it at your own risk of course. |

Send it to me instead of binning it. |
