larry davis Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I picked up a nice Konica III on the auction site. Everything looks fine except I have to help the front wind lever return to the top position - from about half way - still springy. Just takes a nudge. It still cocks, winds and fires ok. I presume the lever mechanism just needs some lube. Does anyone know how to do this and hard it is to do? Thanks. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_turner1 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You might give a call to Mark Hama in Georgia or even Greg Weber in Nebraska. They repair Konica III series and might share some insights. Both have Internet websites. Since the Konica III series are such good quality cameras you might also consider professional CLA (clean - lube - adjust). Hama will probably be less costly but maybe slower turn-around. I'm guessing the Konica you have is not going to be very easy to repair. That lever wind system, for one, is rather unique and uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
