Give Greg Weber a call.

I've serviced 2 Koni's, one of which had jammed shooter and required quite of intervention. The fix was easy (bending back a rod), getting to it was not. Don't have a repair manual or exploded diagram though.

These are great cameras, fix it and use the hell out of it.

I did call Greg, and sending the camera combo is an option.

Say, did you service the camera by yourself?
They seem not to be too complicated to work on.
I have dissembled it but I can't open the big screws of the handle, they are stuck really good.:bang:

I'm trying to reach the focus sleeve of the lens mount. apparenntly, something is stuck there. I can't make the camera reach infinity.
If I were able to solve this problem, I'm not sure I can't manage alone to get the thing to work...
Any clue how to do it??

Yes, I did service them myself. Big cameras, big parts, not very hard to work on if you know what you're doing...which I not always did...:0

In total, I did rebuild 3 backs, cleaned and adjusted the rangefinders, and had to work a little more than that to fix a shutter issue on one of the bodies. My 58/60mm lens doesn't engage the flash (who cares), but other than that is fine so I'm just going to leave it.

For unscrewing stuck screws - spray about an inch of WD40 in a plastic cup and let it settle for a day or two. You'll get nasty cloudy substance on the bottom and clear liquid on top. I found the clear liquid to be a very good all purpose thin lube (without the long term sticky property of direct WD40 application) with good penetration qualities. Apply a little of it around the screws and let it work it's way for a few hours.
