Fix for Rollei 35S shutterspeed dial not moving meter pointer

[wnewall]

I recently obtained a Rollei 35S where moving the shutterspeed dial did not move the red pointer in the meter window (shown in purple on the photo).

The problem was that one of the levers was out of place. The red circles show the lever before and after fix. It was easy to temporarily gently bend the lever so it could slip over into the correct position.

I also fixed the slow the shutterspeeds which were acting as B, by cleaning the small gears shown in green (following advice on this forum).

Glad to see your success. Thanks for showing it.

Hi, I have a similar problem with my Rollei 35s after I replaced my hazy viewfinder with a new one, but mine also does the same thing with the aperture dial. The red pointer is stuck on the right most position. Do you know how to fix this problem by any chance? Thanks!
