Hi all,

I got a good user Retina 1 and the winding mechanism doesnŐt behave correctly, I wanted to take a look inside and I found stuck removing the winding knob (rewind was easy).
I was able to remove the two small screws below the advance/rewind lever but thatŐs all.
I saw a video of Chris Sherlock doing the top cover of a type 119 and I was wondering if I should do similar, holding the inside part with a wrench key and turning CCW the winding knob.

Anybody has done this before?

Thank you in advance,
Alex

Well... Chris Sherlock just published the first video of the type 117 with the top cover removal.
Thank you, Chris!
