Re: Contarex Version One- how to get the top off, help wanted
Hi

If memory serves, there is a normally threaded collar around the shutter release button. You have to remove that with a collet drive or spanner and then remove the counter and advance. Everything else is intuitive. On reassembly, the trickiest task is to re-engage the return spring on the shutter advance.

Subject: [ZICG] Contarex Version One- how to get the top off, help wanted To: ZICG@... Date: Monday, January 4, 2016, 12:34 PM ? Hi AllI have a Contarex version 1 - Bullseye, Cyclops depending on where you hail from that has a fault that causes it to hang in cold weather at all shutter speeds. I have serviced all my 3 lenses, and the parts of the camera's aperture gear train that can be reached from the front but it reverted.?In order to further clean the shutter gears and various gear trains I need to get the top off but have no info or clues as to how to undo the wind-on stack. I believe there is a left hand thread at some stage and that I may have to make a tool for one of the rings but so far cannot find the info I need. I have ordered Tomosy's book, that apparently refers to this, but it has not arrived for a second time from Amazon and no tracking info available. Any help or clues much appreciated.Happy new yearKevin #yiv6147652837 #yiv6147652837 -- #yiv6147652837ygrp-mkp { border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;}
