Hi, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
Would appreciate very much if anybody here would enlighten me with info about uplift/remove the topcover:
1. rotate the left side rewind knob anti-clockwise or clockwise? (I am aware that I need to open the cam back and insert a rod in the fork below).
2. rotate the right side film advance knob anti-clockwise or clockwise? (anything I shoule be awared of?) thanks gg

1.The rewind knob is rotated clockwise to rewind the film into the cassette. Obviously if it unscrewed that way, the knob would come adrift when used, so it must be unscrewed the other way, anti-clockwise.
2.The advance knob is turned anti-clockwise to advance the film, so to prevent it getting unscrewed accidentally when you are using it to wind on the film it must be left-hand threaded. Turn it clockwise to remove it.

Regards, Chris
