Sometimes either the eye piece becomes very dirty, or the cartridge door jams, the following pictures and instructions detail how to remedy both issues. As always, use care and the correct tools.
If the eyepiece needs removal for cleaning or repair, unscrew the three screws as indicated.
Once the three
screw have been removed, the outer ring, and locking ring, can be pulled
off. At this point enough has been dismantled to enable cleaning of
the lens in the eyepiece.
The last ring adjusts the focus of the eyepiece, this too will pull away.
JAMMED FILM COMPARTMENT RELEASE
This picture shows the
cartridge door latch with the top cover removed for clarity. The hook
rarely fails. Whether the compartment door fails to open or close, the
technique described next, will solve the issue.
Sometimes the small latch
fails to engage the cartridge door tab, when this happens, the release
button is not contacting the hook. Once the cartridge door is open, and
the top cover of the camera is still in place, insert a screw driver and
gently push the hook back until the plastic button engages the latch.
This should solve the problem of a stuck compartment door.
