 Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2009 11:55 am Post subject: Zenit shutter *repair* project |
 |
|
Sometimes one is thinking of buying some slr that has a slight shutter problem and thinks that he/she can repair it.
This one was definitely broken so I dared to take it all apart. This is I think a typical result of such a repair. Principally it is still theoretically possible to reassemble it. The broken curtain is center bottom on the picture.
Why is it so difficult then? The curtain system is assembled part by part between the bottom plate and the cast body of the camera. Film plane (not sure what it is called) isn't removable or anything. Assembly need some special tool and very detailed instructions.

You are right. When I saw the state of the curtains I decided not to document all the positions of springs and nuts and just see how it is built. It has been built part by part - no modularity.
Then I bought "new" ET. Didn't process the test film yet.

I received excellent guide - thank you very much - and have all the parts in one box. I think I might reassemble it some time but not in the near future. I like the simple nature of the camera, that is why I even think about it.
Got me ET with working everything and because it is black it doesn't even draw extra attention which I use as film slr nowdays.

Well, at least you have a much better chance to reassemble than a hurricane sweeping up the parts and leaving it behind assembled.
