A spring fell out from the left side of the film cartidge loading bay and I can figure out where it goes. It is a large u-shaped with a hook at each end. I am surmising it works to activate the release button to load film. If I had a schematic or exploded view of the camera, it might help to relocate it. Any suggestions?
i think the best way is to use the pictures of the teardwon for that camera: CLICK it’s surely not a repair guide (but if you look on the right side, there are 3 step-by-step guides) - but it’s shows the most of the inside parts of the camera
Thanks, Marcus! I appreciate the help.
Hi Did you ever resolve this issue. The same thing has happened to mine. I’m pretty sure it’s the door latch spring. Thanks Stuart
Actually the U-shaped spring is the one that lets the door latch engage with the body. It is located at the right side of the Roller Assy looking from behind the camera. Observe the way it mounts on a functional camere, it´s tricky to describe in writing. The metal part it activates is visible on Step 9 of the dismantlich pictures.
