I was given as a present a Zorki-6 in OK cosmetic condition but with problems in the shutter, such as second curtain not closing completely or closing too slowly.
I assumed that the camera was OK, only needing some cleaning and lubricating, so I opened it (following the instructions of http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45110). However, when taking the take-up spool, the curtains opened, and I found no way of bringing them to normal. If I try to cock the shutter, the second curtain will start to close, but it does not stay closed.
When disassembling again I found two black washers falling, probably from the take.up spool. Do you know where exactly were they placed?
Is my camera now a very heavy paperweight? I will appreciate any recommendations.
Best wishes
