Hi,
I purchased a lucky lot from Ebay. Belonged to a professional photographer who has earned my utmost respect considering the condition of the 35 year old items. The only problem is that the shutter does not cock, the winding lever is lose and no tension is felt while turning it. I have never reparied a camera but will put my best effort if I was granted guidance. I would like to do it myself. If anyone held this camera with its tough leather case then it felt like going back in time. The most amazing thing about it is its impeccable cosmetic condition which is quite rare. I will sincerely appreciate help finding its repair manual or perhaps 'do it myself' guidance. Thank you and Best Regards - Raz

A very fun camera. Read http://www.exaktaphile.com/repair/1.html

It'll give you a lot of good advice...and some nice hand holding on a first tinkering job.

Goodluck

Henry
