Recently i got an Pentor Super TL as a gift. I have taken some shoots with it and they were pretty ok. I also encountered some problems. Sometimes the shutter keeps hanging when set to 1/125 or 1/250. Also the advance lever somtimes needs an extra push.

Time to take the top off to see if there is something to repair.
The rewind lever was not a problem. The four srews also weren't a problem.
But the advance lever and shutterspeed are a mysterie to me.
Here are two picture's of the top.

The knob on top of the advance lever is to indicate what kind of film you are using. It can we winded clockwise and counter-clockwise for eternity.

Does anybody have a tip to get the top off?

To remove the wind lever and shutter speed dial, you need to remove the covers (with film type and shutter speed printed on them). They are glued down, so you need to work a thin needle under the cover, to lever it up.

Thanks for the replies.

I will try to peel off the labels.
