Jupiter 3 repair?

[Duncan Ross]

I have a Jupiter 3 (kiev mount) that has some play in the aperture ring. It makes it difficult to select the smaller apertures as the values are close together.

Has anyone here any experience in disassembling a Jupiter 3 kiev mount; I expect there will be some small screws around the aperture setting barrel that link it to the mechanism but I need to get into it first!

Here's my adventurous repair of the Jupiter 3 m39-mount... Go for it! Just start loosening things and you'll get anywhere you want.
