hi... how do I multi expose ( same frame) on a Perkeo 2 please?

I don't think you can - the Perkeo II has a double exposure prevention mechanism which is linked to the frame advance. Don't attempt to force the small lever as you may damage the mechanism.

I've done it on a Perkeo 1 and many other folding cameras. Just re-cock the shutter and release it on the shutter itself. Just trace the linkage of the body shutter button to the shutter and watch how the mechanism fires the shutter. Might be awkward to get a finger in the fire it, but it works.

In case that was nonsense, here's a picture showing where to fire the shutter independent of the frame counter etc.

On mine, the frame counter and double-exposure mechanism wasn't always reliable so I took off the top cover of the camera and disabled it. Easy. No more rolls with just 7 to 10 frames on them.... And if I wanted to, I could do a double exposure.
But I do have to be careful I wind the film before each exposure.... So far so good.
