[rollei_list] AW: 35SE Film Counter

Hi Stewart,

you have correctly described how it is supposed to work - and on my camera
the toothed thing moves when the shutter is cocked. Watch it carefully, if
it doesn't on your camera then there is something wrong.
The usual defect on these film counters is that the disc gets stuck in the
36+ position which can be easily fixed but if it is the actuating mechanism
then this is more severe and requires a look under the cover...

Have fun!

Sven

Betreff: [rollei_list] 35SE Film Counter


Hi,

I am new to this group and therefore don't know if this subject comes up
regularly.

I have recently bought a Rollei 35SE/Sonnar. Everything seems to work
fine except the film counter on the underside. Looking at the inside of
the baseplate I can see toothed wheel with which I can turn the counter
easily with a finger. Looking at the underside of film chamber I can a
little toothed thing sticking down which looks like its purpose is to
engage with this wheel to advance the counter. There is also a metal
prong which looks as if it is a ratchet to stop the counter rewinding
until the back is removed. Cranking the film advance lever (without a
film in it) does not seem to make the toothed thing move at all.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

thanks

Stewart
