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.  On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 10:49:42 PM EDT, Todd Eacrett wrote: #yiv7666

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 T

Already tried it. Screws, knob, meter reel and all. Something else is keeping it grounded to the body.  On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, 4:32:07 PM EDT, Todd Eacrett wrote: #yiv3824402774 p.yiv3824402774MsoNormal, #yiv3824402774 p.yiv3824402774MsoNoSpacing{margin:0;} In addition to the three

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 re

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 coul

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
