Mir, Zorki 4 question

[radiocemetery]

Hi FSU fans,

I just received a Mir, my first Zorki. I need to remove the top plate to clean the RF prisms and related glass. Does anyone know if the wind on knob is right or left hand threaded? In Wolves thread about the 4K, the piece under the wind on lever of the 4K is left hand threaded, but I am not sure about the Mir.

Also, the camera shipped without a take up spool (I know, I should have asked). Yuri and Oleg don't show any in stock. Anyone have a spare?

Thanks for your help.

Regards, Steve

turn the knob anti clockwise after loosening the set screw in the knob while holding the spool shaft.
there is no coil spring to worry about on the 4.
Oleg should have spools for sale.
