HELP: How to dismantle Zorki-10?

[stonerfforum]

Hello everyone!

I bought a Zorki-10 on eBay. It was described in working condition, but it did not work at all. The light indicator does move due to light change, but it always stays in "low light" side which results in wrong shutter speed/aperture. The self-timer is also out of order. I tried to search repair info on internet. But it is not much. Is there place I can find more info? Thank you!!

Regards/Stone

self-timer problem of Zorki-10

Hello everyone!
I include some photos here. I spent quite some money for this Zorki-10, but the self-timer and light meter do not work! The seller disappeared after I mailed him about this Zorki-10 problem. I can not get any refund from the seller from eBay. So I need to find the problem myself.....

I tried to dismantle the lens. The linkage of self timer does not link to anything. There is a empty hole there and the linkage just hanging there! See photo below

close look

Please help me to sort out the problem. Should the linkage link to anything?

Besides, some parts around the lens seem installed in wrong sequence. Here is the part photo. Does someone know how to install them in correct position in right order? Thank you.

For whomever chance upon this...

In the hope that this will be useful; that sequence appears correct.
Here are a few shots of the "blind" in front of the selenium cell, at
ASA 40 and at ASA 250.

Sorry to bump a really old thread, but I just got a Zorki 10 and the iso/asa ring won't really turn and is stuck on 320. Also the whole lens assembly seems to move. How do I remove the ring on the front?

Got it off now!

The Zorki-10 is an unusual beast, I'm glad I'm not alone in struggling with this unusual camera.

The selenium cell in my Zorki-10 doesn't seem to power the shutter mechanism properly -- the aperture stays the same no matter what the light level is. Perhaps I should try a front-ring dismantling as well.

Shame there isn't a way to bring the meter back to life.
