I inherited a good looking Reflex IV. Although the film advances and the shutter appears to be cocked, you cannot see through the viewfinder. Any suggestions?

Hi, Bill.
If the shutter leaves don't open when the camera is cocked, your Retina Reflex is not working. Unfortunately, these are extremely difficult to service, and parts (like the cocking rack) are next to impossible to find. Please let us know more about what it is doing.
