I have a new to me old Canon IIIa RF camera that I want to go through. Shutter speeds sound pretty close, but the T setting gets stuck after opening. I also want to clean the RF to get a little brighter view and check focus somehow. In the past I was able to put a ground glass at the film plane to check focus, this is not possible because the film loads from the bottom. Maybe I can take it apart and do this.
Not scared of doing the work, just need to know how to start and where the RF adjustment screws are located. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a little bit of sketches on it, and some Leica notes that might also be useful. Email rick.oleson@gmail.com if you'd like a copy.

Thanks, I have another question that I'd prefer not to post publicly too. Feel free to answer frankly, or choose not to answer. Also check your spam folder as my account often gets tossed in there.

Just checking--you do know that you have to turn the shutter speed dial off of "T" back to 1 second to get the shutter curtain to close don't you? This is how it is supposed to operate.

Nope, didn't know that. Just downloaded the manual yesterday, but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
