Hi
I have recently acquired a Microcord II with a sticking Prontor SVS shutter. I understand that this is not uncommon on this model.
Is there a repair manual available anywhere for this camera? Or does anyone have any instructions for dismanling the camera to get to the shutter mechanism? Any advice would be most welcome.

I don't have anything specifically on the microcord, but I have noted for the Rollei Automat that might give a clue.

Thanks for the link.
I have manage to remove the shutter and lens and after a clean up I have the fast speeds working.
The slower speed are still a little sticky.

the usual problem there is a bit of dirt or dried oil on the pallet and star wheel... a drop of lighter fluid there may bring it back. |
