My Zeiss Contaflex Alpha (1958) is very hard to wind on in order to cock the shutter, also when I turn the speed setting ring to B the shutter fires at about 1/125.

I recently dis-assembled the lens to clean oil from the shutter and aperture blades and while doing so I must have damaged a small hair spring that fits around a large slotted screw positioned near a snail cam. I'm unable to see where the ends of the spring go as it is bent out of shape. Has anybody a sketch or photograph of the shutter assembly, I've searched everywhere for pictures of the Prontor Reflex shutter without success.

Many thanks - Alf
