Subject: [rollei_list] Rollei B35 film counter
My B35's film counter is not working. It will not advance
to 1 with a fresh
roll of film. Just keeps bobbing around 36. Am I over
looking something or
is it just broken. I assume Harry can fix?

I don't know the B35 but suspect this is just dirt or
gummy lubricant. I've had the counter in a Rolleicord freeze
up because it was dirty. A few drops of Naptha in the right
place fixed it.
A lot of older type lubricants become gummy or hard with
time or collect fine dirt which has the same effect. Modern
silicone based lubricants are supposed to be longer lived as
far as oxidation but probably collect dirt in the same way.
