It's(the board) just a tad too big.Did the lenseboard size change over time with the 3A. Also the mirror won't lock down Any hints? Thanks Jamie |

You must pull the lensbd out a ways before the mirror will miss it and lock down! Oddball folding arraingement on this camera was very hard on the spring return and the bellows.....suggest you remove the lensbd so you can lube the shutter release inside the body....work it a bit to work the lube in! I use a lightweight automotive bearing grease, doesnt take much! Email me directly for more help at bsaunders1@bak.rr.com Have a nice day.....Bert |
