Hello there,
My alltrusty Crown graphic is severely injured. The rangefinder system is dead for some reason. While focusing, little balls started falling down after a "crack" was heard. Unfortunately, I could not find the full number of the bearings, neither the little wire with the rubber cap that activates it.
- I guess I have to re make the wire and replace the bearings. Is there anyone here who knows how many balls I have to insert, how many mm they sould be and what is the size of the wire?
-Do you have any other idea about what I should do?
If possible, go to where you were when the RF disintegrated with a large, strong magnet and try to retrieve as many balls and spacers as possible and maybe find the plunger.
