I made a post a few days ago regarding fixing a Voigtlander Perkeo 2 camera and various members wisely suggested I try something else to begin with.
Anyway, I had noticed a missing nut on my Perkeo 2, so I bought a very cheap Perkeo 1 for spare parts so have decided to use it as a donor camera and an experience building project.
The camera itself doesn't seem to work at all. Two smaller arms are broken and the shutter does not fire, so I have started to strip the camera down. I have so far managed to remove the shutter/lens mechanism and taken off the top cover, all thanks to the Chris Sherlock video's but one thing I can't seem to do is remove the bellows. The Sherlock video's completely miss that part out, so was wondering if anyone else can help me?
I have included pictures of the bellows from the front and rear.
I have also uploaded pictures of the broken arms. Any suggestions on a possible fix? Or Does anyone have a decent perkeo 1 body they no longer need? The broken arm is encircled with the smaller circle showing where it has sheared off. There are two broken arms, 1 on each side of the mechanism. There's only a need to show one arm, rather than them both.
