Back in March 2020 I decided to repair the non-working Contax I bought years ago since the pandemic would give me lots of time and the internet convinced me I could do it.
I got the Tooke book, lube, 2-3 orders of ribbon (Japan, Finland) metric screws, and eventually a second Contax for parts and a Kiev too. I did manage to break one of the shutter springs and Contax #2 came with some knobs missing. I made lots of little parts to fumble with. I tried to label the parts as best I could. I did mark up the book.
Serial numbers C13839 & B32885
Anyway, as of March 2021 Foxy.Chicago, totally defeated by the Germans!! But I put the Contax lens on the Kiev and have a "Conive" that seems to work. I am keeping the Conive
The bottom line all the stuff is on eBay now
Thanks the folks that offered suggestions.
Sincerely
Lew
