Delving up my old C33 which has been sitting for a long time, I have restored the lenses and got the winding mechanism to work back again, only to find that the cocking arm (the metal piece that actually cocks ther shutter sitting just above the shutter itself ) on my C33 does not return to its most upward position enough, allowing the shutter on my lens to not complete its cycle.
Now I do not mind cocking the shutter manually, like I do on my C220, but I am to eager to make this work on the C33. Ofcourse I have been thinking about filing the mechanism down and get rid of it all together, but honestly speaking. That is not the way, is it.
I am not sure if the cocking mechanism is slightly dislocated (like by force or so) and therefore readjusting it a notch up or down or so would just do the trick as it seems that it travels slightly too far down too when cocking the shutter. So that is why I suspect that maybe somewhere I can adjust it.
However…. There are no drawings to be found anywhere on internet that tell me how to get to that mechanism (like similar excerpts or video’s could be found left and right, even not much, just enough for me to get the machine going again) and before ruining the camera, I was wondering if you have a quick explain or tip on how to / where to access that part of the cocking lever mechanism with enough detail so I can potentially adjust it properly.
