Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
When was the last time it got a PM? It likely just needs to be completely torn down, cleaned, and lubricated. The DeVry is very easy to work on... way easier than an eyemo. Any cine tech should be able to do it, but be aware that it is still time-consuming. DuAll is nice if you're convenient to New York but there are plenty of other shops out there. Get the lens backfocus tested while it's on the bench. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
In addition to the three screws on the back of the case, you need to remove the shutter release knob and the footage counter (top of the case). The latter has a spring washer under it, so don't lose it. The mechanism should slide/wiggle out as one unit, but if the case is bent or dented it could hang up on the edges. You can clean and lube easily without further disassembly; I think I basically soaked the entire mech in solvent.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
I was abe to loosen the bolts that held the camera mechanism in place, but was unable to get the mechanism out. There was still something holding it on there. I didn't want to take any chances by forcing it, so I put everything back in place. If someone out there has the ability and tools to remove the mechanism and oil down the gears while there at it, then thats all I would like completed.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
Already tried it. Screws, knob, meter reel and all. Something else is keeping
it grounded to the body.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
Weird. The two I have are slightly different, but both are tethered to the case in the same way. With the screws removed is the mechanism loose within the case or still solidly attached? I'm not a camera technician so I don't recommend prying with a screwdriver, but it has worked for me. On Tue, May 26, 2020, at 3:43 PM, Morgan Hoyle-Combs wrote: > > Already tried it.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
The one I have has the three screws and the firing knob that all came lose
when I unscrewed them. But Still nothing came undone. If you'd like, I can do a
video of what I'm taking apart and show you what is what.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for camera repair
Don't know what more to suggest. Could be held in place by rust, gunk or a slightly bent case.
