Cyril I had a similar problem with my Super A a couple of years ago (after haveing dropped it on an Irish mountain. I had it in a repair shop, without any positiv result, except replacing the film rewind knob. Finally, I took off the bottom plate and found that there was not any electrical contact between body and bottom plate, because the plate is painted black, which there should be. I scraped off a litle paint at the inner edge of the bottom plate, with my swiss army knife - and voila! After thsi my camera have been working perfectly ever since! All the best

[Me Super] Hello all, I'd like your help : my Me Super blocks. It happens while taking pictures : after a shot, the mirror does not get back in place. When I take off the lens to see where it blocks, the curtain is visible (not film) and the mirror is still in its upper position. Also, when I pull down the small lever located inside on the left, the mirror gets down as expected, but as soon as I release the lever it comes up again. >From there, I've tested a quantity of tricks, but nothing works : light shocks on the body, use of the timer, turning the camera off and on again, taking the batteries out and in again, 125x sync, "B" position... I just found one procedure which unblocks the mirror : with a winder, if the lever is pulled down, as soon as it comes in its lower position, the winder switches (twice) and the camera gets unblocked. If the lens is not put on again, the unit works perfectly with as many shot as I want. But as soon as a lens is re-placed on the body, the camera blocks again. I've tried many types of lenses : M, A... it does not change anything. I've dismounted the lower plate and after some observation, nothing seems broken. Everything looks in good shape (even nearly new...) Does someone have an idea ? It would be nice as I like this camera very much : it is not very much used (outside shape looks quite new) and it belonged to someone close to me. Thanks in advance !
