I have just picked another Konica Autoreflex full/half frame camera. Nice overall conditions, shutter speeds sound right, the issue is with the mirror. It seems that the mechanism that makes the mirror travel back (be it spring or something) is not working. After the exposure mirror "hangs on" lose without fully travelling back. A simple gentle camera shake or gently tapping the bottom of the camera returns the mirror to the initial position. I assume it must be some kind of spring missing or something of that nature - should not be very difficult to fix. The question though - how to access/remove the mirror box - can I just remove the front of the camera or also need to remove the top? Anybody tried? I want to avoid unnecessary steps and don't want to start the full disassembly if that is not necessary.
