<p>Hm... I have a spare knob but it only works some of the time. They are really quite finicky, as to the counter running, and actually releasing the film transport. My though is that for all the extra hassle what you get is a fine medium format camera made into a clunky 35mm camera with only one lens. Save your money!</p>

<p>What you have is a Rolleiflex Automat I type II, with a Rolleicord hood and x synch added. This is most likely a prewar camera, as both lenses appear to uncoated. It my in fact be a war time camera, but only disassembly will tell, as the wartime products suffered from inferior fit and finish. </p>

<p>Hello Vergas,<br> You are missing a part. It goes under the knob and engages the little pin that is sticking up from the focus shaft housing. The parts allows the knob to turn more than one full revolution, to allow for near focus. Without this part it will do exactly as you are experiencing. I probably have one, but I can't say for sure...</p>
