The real problem with this camera is that the whole mechanism of the body with the 3 gears , mirror and film-valve are driven by the shaft and spring in the lens. And that this spring is a bit tired ... so this is a good reason to store a mechanical camera unarmed!

Nice detail. WOW!! that is something I would never try. V

Mostly, you can fix these with a hammer ... :-)))
(and keep the small pieces for next time).
A nice exploded view, J-L. Did you clean the sensor?

I have 2 small pieces of no importance left and the camera still doesn't work.... ;-)
