How do you dismantle a Zorki 10?

[LIJ]

I have a severely clogged up Zorki 10 that seems to be in working order but in need of a thorough CLA. Is there anywhere a guide to the sequence in which you open this thing up? I've been searching the internet like a mainiac but have come up with practically nothing. Need help!

Hi,

Welcome aboard.

I'll wish you luck and warn you to be careful of the Zorki 10 as there are some wires inside that can be broken off easily as you dismantle it. I can't remember more than that, alas; it was some years ago I tackled one.

Have you asked Oleg if he can do it? He's at OKVintageCamera.com from memory.

Regards, David

Hi and thanks!

Yeah, there is tremendously little info on the inner works of the Zorki 10 out there (compared to the Zorki 4 which I also have one). Havn't asked Oleg since I bought it for 8 bucks on Ebay and figured it would be a nice little restoring project to do on my own. But we'll see how brave I am when it comes to going out into the unknown without any map...

You might look for info on the Ricohmatic camera; I think this is what the Zorki 10 was based on (or copied from).
