Good, now I can fix my stupidity from a few weeks ago. I took apart the winding mechanism and positioned the toothed slide wrong which in turn broke the shutter mechanism, now I have to fix that. The good thing, I managed to remove all the sand that blocked the winding since the 80s plus the viewfinder which was loose. Now I only need to fabricate a tool to get the shutter out.
I am collecting cameras and sometimes I am repairing using the help of people who have more experience in this field. Looking at your movie, I had the impression that I was looking at a service employee who works on a chord. I will observe the repair of Kodak cameras. I have two models: Retina type 013 and Kodak 35, the first 35mm camera from this company
What was the name of the tool you used to remove the shutter? My Retina appears to have been serviced improperly, leaving the focusing screw on the shutter assembly and it is a pain to try and get off.
That is usually called a lens spanner. The Retinas with an f/2 lens, like the IIa or IIIc types have a rear group that extends well out the back and makes access to the retaining ring difficult except for special tools designed specifically for that job, which just aren't available. On the Retina Ia and IB models you can usually get to the retaining ring with a pair of circlip pliers with the tips ground down to suit. Often it is easier to remove the rear lens group first.
i have a question in the focusing ring of my kodak there are like scratches from infinity to 2,5 meters and i guess is becouse the ring is touching some part of thw camera, do you know any solution
Probably the little cover, at the 10 o'clock position as you look at the shutter, over the gear that couples the cocking action to the curved rack on the shutter is set too close to the focus scale ring. Slightly loosen the two screws, push it away, and re-tighten the screws.
What do you mean 'frozen'? Do you know how the camera works? Have you checked to make sure the film advance lever is not simply locked because the frame counter has reached number one?

Good info. Now I see why servicing is expensive.
There's a lot of know how and work involved.
Pro tip: watch movies at flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

My god. Watching this and I still wouldn’t want to take it apart. I’m not sure if I could re-assemble it 😁
Wonderful! Thank you.

@@ChrisSherlock thanks m8
Chris Sherlock : I have a mint retina 1a everything works but the focusing knob is frozen at infinity. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hey there, any suggestions on how to fix a frozen shutter?
What do you mean 'frozen'? Do you know how the camera works? Have you checked to make sure the film advance lever is not simply locked because the frame counter has reached number one?
@@ChrisSherlock “frozen” as in stuck. Specifically in the open position. I was wondering if you knew any tips to get it to shut without disassembling.
No, it needs to be repaired, sorry, there is no magic trick.
