KAISER Bulk Film Loader - Film Meter Counter Not Working (how to fix it)
Problem: During the film loading process, the film meter counter advances but returns automatically to zero right after a complete turn of the exposure counter wheel (36 exposures).
Cause: The spring that blocks in position the film meter counter wheel is loose.
Solution: Put back the spring in the right place.
Here the how-to:
- Remove the 4 screws, be careful with the little one, it came out all together with the handle:
- It is not necessary to remove the spring from the axis to open the cover, leave it there:
- Remove the cover, do not worry, nothing is attached to it from the inside, it cames out easely, do not force it:
- Now notice at the top of the film meter counter, the metalic spring is out of place (out from the inverted "L" shaped brakets):
- Put back the spring in place and check that the plastic bolt is in the right position between the dents of the film meter counter wheel:
- Test it before assembling everything back.
And that's it., I hope this helps someone someday.
