I have a Nikon EL2 & the Ai ring hangs-up and doesn't return to its start point.
I dissasembled the bayonet housing & the Ai ring assembly works freely. The spring is fine & works corrdctly. There is no dirt or gunk in the ring's tracks.
In the camera housing itself there is an inner silver ring which has teeth on one side. This ring contacts a small black toothed gear on the camera frame. This whole mechanism coordinates the Ai f-stop/meter. It seems the gear is not moving as free as it should & maybe this is why the Ai ring doesn't return properly. Does this gear go to other gears or to a string pully system? Any suggestion for repair? thanks, TOM |
