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. Don Bristol UK |

I don't have anything specifically on the microcord, but I have noted for the Rollei Automat that might give a clue. Rick.oleson@gmail.com |

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. Don |

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. |
