Ojseration of Counter
Phenomenon
The film counter does not advance when making
the winding lever operate, and the latter half of
the film counter slips. (It will advance while
pressing the back cover.)
Cause
Although the counter G-1 engages the counter
gear, yet the former slips and does not advance
because the counter release SP is soft that pushes
the counter G-1. (In case the spring is deformed
during installation.) Counter release lever
Reparing technique and confirming method
• Check whether the counter release lever fully
operates toward the counter G-1, and if the
former is deformed, repair the defect to
strengthen the force of the spring to push the
counter G-1.
'• First put the part of spring to press the counter
G-1 against the latter, and place the spring in the
catch of the counter release lever and next put
the spring in the counter release lever shaft Counter
making a little free the wound portion at the
central part of the spring, then apply the hook
on the opposite side to the film counter base.
Phenomenon
One operation of the winding lever makes an advance of film by 2 frames, or an unstable advance.
Cause
If there are burrs, scratches, etc. in the portion where the counter contacts the counter gear, the feed
failure takes place.
1. When soldering the lead wire, the counter G-1 was deformed.
2. The corner was injured by the screw driver, etc,
3. There is a burr made in the course of work.
4. There are a scratch, chip, etc. in the counter gear.
Repairing technique and Confirming method
The failure in feed of the film counter should visually be found.
1 to 2. Replacement of parts.
3. Scrape off burrs. (Not partially, but totally scrape them off.)
4. When adjusting the A-gear stopper, the screw driver is apt to scratch it. If it is scratched, replace the
counter gear.
