Hi there.

For quite some time now I'm trying to repair my Voigtländer Ultramatic CS. It's in good working condition (almost), the shutter mechanism works like a charm, the only problem is that the film take-up spool doesn't spin. It does sometimes, lets say 1 out of 20 tries, but most of the time it stands still.

The film sprocket wheel does advance the film, but with the take-up spool standing still, I end up having the film wound up on the sprocket wheel.

I guess there's some kind of friction clutch inside the spool, but it seems not to work.

Is there any chance to repair that? (You probably will suggest buying a Bessamatic, which I might do, but nevertheless I would like to repair the CS).

Another question: does anybody have a scan of a repair or service manual of the CS? I could find manuals for numerous cameras, but not for that model...

Thanks in advance!
