Hi, I just bought a Moskva 4 that seems to work quite well, but there are a couple of problems. The main one is that just with the loading of the first 120 film I've noticed that the camera back looks closed, but not enough that you can pull it open with your fingers easily. I don't know if it also means light leaks as is the 1st film I've put through it. In fact the closing lever don't fall into it's really closed position. Any thoughs about how I could solve this question?

There's a second, minor, one. The anti-double exposure sistem in this camera uses a red dot to indicate when the film has been advanced, but this dot remains partially red even after releasing the shutter. The mechanism is under the cover arround the shutter release button, but I do not dare to open it without more information. Anyone knows where I could get a manual or some pictures of Moskva repairs? Thanks in advance.

This is the camera. The closing lever is on top, the anti-double exposure indicator in the chromed area down to the right arround the advance lever:
