I have a Ricoh Riken Ricomat 35 rangefinder that will not fire. I found that the shutter button does not fully depress. Removing the shutter, I can see that the lever rod that actuates the shutter lever has limited movement and I have to pull the top of the camera for inside body access. I cleaned the shutter assembly and it works fine when actuated off of the camera, and the shutter cocks fine. The issue that I am having is removing the advance knob/shaft assembly. I removed the set screw from the side of the knob, and the film spool. The brass shaft that the spool fits over is buggered up from someone before attempting to remove it. I tried prying gently between the knob and the indicator dial but the dial is very thin metal and I don't want to damage anything. Does anyone know how to disassemble the winder?
Thanks!
Thanks!
