Hi, I have a beautiful ricoh 500, the original type with the trigger winder, the camera has the seikosha SLV shutter, and it has suddenly lost flash sync... Ive had the top off and checked all the wires and connections, no joy 
Anyone have any ideas, or know someone who could get it fixed, the camera I know has no great financial value, but it means alot to me, and would love to get it running again.
Thanks

Not to hijack the thread, but how the heck do you get the top cover off? I have a Five-One-Nine (same camera but with the 1.9 lens) and thought I'd removed all the screws and of course the rewind lever, but she won't budge. I want to clean the hazy finder.
Beautiful cameras, by the way -- really solid.
