Anyone out there with experience with the Kodak Synchro-Rapid 800?<br>
I know these are notoriously difficult to work on, but I can't figure out how to get it open! I've taken the lenses and the speed ring off but from there I don't see any screws. There are 3 on the back but they appear only to hold on the aperature adjustment ring.<br>
The shutter cocks but doesn't fire when the release is pressed until you push the cocking lever back a bit. Seems like something I could fix if I could get it open.<br>
Thanks in advance for any and all help,<br>

Hi...I just happen to have one of those...and I've had it open for cleaning and lube. If my memory serves me right, you rotate that front plate a few degrees counter-clockwise to pop it off. You will have to press down, rotate, and it will arrive at a point where there is a "detent" where you can remove it. Fred.
