Rolleiflex 6003 SRC 1000

<p>Hi all,<br>

I received a 6003 SRC 1000 for a great price and it was working great except <br>

for the flap behind the mirror, so I took off the side of the camera where the ISO <br>

dial is and clean and lubed it, I then did something that I should not of did I put <br>

the battery back in with the circuit board still outside the camera it worked the<br>

mirror and flap went up but thats it all dead now. the fuse doesn't blow it just<br>

does not turn on, I did manage to get the mirror down I just turned the gears<br>

to make the mirror and flap come down, otherwise that's it nothing. Is there<br>

a reset inside or another thing I could do or is it a loss cause.<br>

<p>Clark,</p>

<p>I'm not a Rollei tech but I have experienced similar behavior when I've unknowingly set the self-timer. Mirror won't return, removing battery doesn't restore the camera, etc; only cure is allowing the timer to run-down and fire the shutter. The screen displays a count down with the message "SF-xx" .</p>

<p>Since you haven't had a reply from someone that definitely knows your camera's problem I thought to throw-out this idea.</p>

<p>It doesn't do anything, it's really (Like bones say's to Capt. Kirk it's Dead Jim) I don't know <br>

what happen but thank you for the reply.</p>

<p>Clark,<br>

Sorry to read your camera went from bad to worse.<br>

Is it possible the circuit board came into contact with the camera frame while testing? Its possible that a ground not being connected (circuit board not mounted to the camera) caused the problem.</p>

<p>Take a 2AA cell mini mag flashlight focused to a bright spot at 2 inches or similar and shine the light on one side of the circuit board while looking at the other with a loupe or magnifying glass. Look for cracks in the circuits (the copper lines that run along the circuit board or strips), crystallized solder, or wires with only a few strands connected. Cracks can be hair fine and difficult to see. Solder sometimes cracks around the component lead or turns to crystal and does not make contact.</p>

<p>Once you have verified there is no physical damage to the circuit board reattach it to the camera body and test the camera. If it fails, put a capped lens on, darkslide in, and operate in all modes with no battery and with a battery installed. If it still fails its find a service manual, send it off to a repair shop, or find another body.</p>

<p>A diode or resistor could have been used so it acts like a fuse. A diode is frequently used to block a reverse connected battery from damaging the circuit. I do not know if this camera employs any of these safe guards or not.</p>

<p>Hi Charles<br>

This camera (the 6003) has so much more wiring and other stuff going on with it <br>

I'm not surprise, the 6008 intergal is a lot better made inside less wiring and more <br>

plug's into board's. I'm also trying to get a new motor from the original company <br>

I'll see how that makes out.</p>
