Hi,

I have a pentacon six TL that will not reset to 0 when the back is opened after finishing a roll of film. it was working properly before, but for some reason when the back is open it only rewinds the counter a few frames.

what can i do?

It might just be a bit dirty ... try slapping the camera lightly while the back is open to see if that frees it up and lets it reset.

If it needs more than that, the stuff is just under the wind lever, on top of the top cover (hopefully you wouldn't have to go farther than that).

I have some sketches for disassembling the thing, if you want to try that....
