Photographica: Vintage Camera Repair Forum
This week disaster befell my beloved Rolleicord V in the form of a jammed film advance. At first I thought the problem was a bad roll of film, but after repeated occurances and jamming at random exposures, I concluded that the problem lay with the Rolleicord. Doing a Google search I came across an interesting forum dedicated to repair and restoration of vintage cameras. A posting of my Rolleicord's problem received a reply which indicates that the jammming may be caused by a faulty release switch within the Roleicord and that it should be a simple thing to fix. While I'm not going to attempt this, at least I know that the problem is most likely repairable.
