Hi guys,
I bought this Rolleicord Vb in excellent condition, except that the shutter does not work. :)

Right after I tension the shutter, it trips by itself, the blades are also very slow.

I am thinking to get it fixed, but don't know how to open up the front panel. I am thinking to peal the leather first, but how do you "unscrew" the M/X/V lever and double exposure lock lever ?

Is there a repair manual for Vb?

Thanks,
BrianShaw

Repair manual can be found on the auction site or on the web. I suggest you sincerely consider sending camera to a knowledable repair shop, however. It's a good camera and you'll enjoy it very much once it's operating properly.

You are right, Brian, I had it fixed for $150, and I think this is well spent!

Thanks
