However, you'll find it easier to reconnect
the springs if you first remove the counter
dial.
Take out the screw holding the counter
stop, Fig. 118. The counter stop serves
both to connect the counter-dial spring
and to stop the counter dial at the " S "
position. Lift out the counter dial and the
counter stop as one-assembly.
Fig. 119 shows the top of the wind seat
w ith the counter dial removed. Note the
tw o springs which connect to the tab on
the advance-indicator lever. The larger
spring rotates the advance-indicator lever
in a clockwise direction. But, as the film
winds onto the take-up spool, it pushes
against the sensing lever inside the take-
up-spool cavity. The sensing lever at­
taches to the advance-indicator lever. So,
as the sensing lever moves toward the
fro n t of the camera, the advance-in-
dicator lever rotates in a counterclock­
wise direction.
The smaller of the tw o springs, Fig.
119. now pulls the film-advance indicator
counterclockwise. One end of the smaller
spring connects to the tab
advance-indicator lever; the other end
hooks to the side of the film-advance in­
dicator.
Both springs remain w ith the wind
seat. Take out the tw o wind-seat screws.
Fig. 119. Then lift out the wind seat.
W atch for a loose endplay spacer on the
top of the wind shaft, Fig. 120; not all
cameras use the endplay spacer. Also, if
you removed the wind lever, the wind
cam passing through
bushing will be loose.
Next lift out the wind-ratchet pawl, Fig.
120. The post on the underside of the
wind-ratchet pawl fits between the tw o
ends of the pawl spring. Then, from the
bottom of the body, disconnect and
remove the tw o springs that hook to the
tab of the transport-release lever, Fig.
121. The upper spring provides the ten­
sion which moves the transport-release
lever toward the front of the camera; the
gold spring serves both as the power-
winder switch and as the spring for the
transport latch.
Remove the transport-release lever by
taking out its screw, Fig. 121. W atch for
the loose bushing under the transport-
release lever. The shoulder of the bushing
goes down, passing through the slot in
the mirror-cocking lever.
Also take out the screw holding the
shutter-cocking lever and the left-hand
screw holding the transport cam, Fig.
121. Before you lift out the transport cam,
note the position of the advance-pawl
spring, Fig. 121. The short end of the
spring connects to a tab on the advance
pawl; the long end connects to a tab on
on the
the wind-seat
