Spent 2 weeks working on Steph’s Zeiss Ikon Contaflex.
Here is a note sheet I made, of course I typed over most of my hand writing so you can read it.
P.S. If i can draw, I wouldn’t be a photographer, laugh all you want, technically you should call this the service doodle.
The diagram is not step by step and cover every aspect, it will help you,
but first YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
In addition, the mechanical sequence.
Cocking: Tighten tension gear, lower mirror and flap, cocking shutter, opening shutter and aperture.
Firing: Let go of the tension gear (every gear retracts), stop down aperture and closes shutter blades, mirror and flap goes up, lever came down far enough to hit the firing lever on shutter, shutter fires.
