<p>Hello<br> Is there anyone in this forum who is an expert or very knowledgeable about the Krauss Peggy Norm? I recently acquired one and I am trying to determine if it still works however I am not familiar with how the shutter is cocked. I know from research that the Peggy I and II were either cocked with the knob on the photographer's left (on most cameras this is the film rewinder - but not with the Peggy) or by opening and closing extendible front part of the camera. The Norm seems to be different in that there is a switch on the top of the ring that sets the shutter speed. Apparently, from what I gather, this switch is what is used to cock the shutter. If true, mine has the switch locked to right (as you are facing the camera) and I cannot move it back to the left as is seen in many pictures of the Peggy Norm. When I press the shutter release button, it will not budge. As such, I think my Peggy Norm's shutter is in a perpetual cocked mode and can't be released. But I would like to converse with someone who has a Peggy Norm and get some more information before I just put it on permanent display. In lieu of that, if it is broken maybe it can be fixed - if someone knows a person who has worked on Peggy's before. I'd welcome any information about trying to get the camera to work or any leads to repair services.<br> Thanks in advance!<br> Dave W.</p>
