Hello,

I've been trying to give a quick clean for a Zenit-19 I bought, but ran into a problem right from the start. What I'm trying to do is to clean the electronic contacts as described here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~tomtiger/zenrep19/zen19rep.html

The problem is, I can't lift the electronics module out of the housing. There are two screws locking it in it's place, but removing them doesn't free the module. It moves about left and right, but just won't lift. Something below the module (in the area middle of the module around the large black adjustment screw) is keeping it from lifting. No amount of wiggling, praying or reading the communist manifesto seems to work.

Any ideas or advice would be most welcome.
