I have a pentacon 6 tl with a broken film counter. Can anyone steer me in the direction towards a resource that shows me how to fix it? Drawings, photos, anything of that sort that explains the operation?
This seems to be a pretty frequent failure on these cameras, any body know a fix?

There is a soft aluminum part that hits when you release the wind lever to start the counter it wears . You might make the part out of steel and a repair manual is available still from (ed romney) You can find on google. Don

It might just be the return spring that has come loose. You would need to take the top off to hook it back onto the screw that sits underneath the top.
