Posted on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - 09:42 am:        I have had a Ricoh Singlex II camera for a couple of yrs and recently when shooting some pics I went to advance to the next frame and the lever just broke. There is no resistance when I pull on it, it just swings back and forth. Does anybody know how I can fix this or at least how I can get inside to see what the problem is?   Mikel Tinkerer Username: Mikel Post Number: 152 Registered: 07-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

If the former, the problem is probably at the top. If the latter, the problem is probably at the bottom of the camera. The bottom is easy to remove, and the shutter wind mechanism is down there.
