i started poking about inside my zenit-e, and in my ignorance undid the screw that holds in the mechanism that makes the mirror pop up when the shutter is fired.
the mechanism comprises of two gears under tension, but they untensioned themselves when the unit fell out.
any advice on how to retension the gears correctly?
(apart from going through the 100's of possible positions one at a time)
