Disassembly To Remove The Shutter - Kodak Instamatic M Series Repairing

Lightly tap the end of the cam shaft, Fig. MD6, with a
hammer. Tapping drives the cam shaft into the hole at the
center of the in-and-out cam. Once again the in-and-out cam
is mounted to—and turns with—the cam shaft.
DISASSEMBLY TO REMOVE THE
SHUTTER
There's only one normal repair that requires additional
disassembly—replacing the single-blade shutter. Here are the
disassembly steps:
1. From the bottom of the projector, Fig. MD8, open the
take-up-reel cover by turning the coin-slotted lock.
2. Remove the take-up reel by sliding over the spring shown
in Fig. MD9.
3. Use your 1/4" nut driver to remove the 3 screws at the
bottom of the projector, Fig. MD10. Note that the screws
pass through rubber grommets; you may have to oil the
rubber grommets to prevent them from turning.
4. Turn over the projector to the top. Pull the two wires (one
black wire and one white wire) from under the tab, Fig.
MD11.
5. At the front of the projector, remove the two screws
holding the accessory outlet. You can now remove the
nameplate. But, for reassembly reference, note that the
nameplate goes inside the housing.
6. Remove the bottom section of the housing, Fig. MD12.
7. Using your 1/4" nut driver, remove the three screws
pointed out in Fig. MD13.
8. Disconnect the hooked end of the spring shown in Fig.
MD14.
9. Using your 1/4" nut driver, remove the screw shown in
Fig. MD14.
10. Lift off the lamp housing, Fig. MD14.
11. You now have a clear view of the shutter at the front of
the projector, Fig. MD15. Note the plastic cap at the front of
FIG. MD11 Top of projector.
