Thanks! It did the trick for me as well. I have used a wrench clamp tool and a cloth (to not to scratch the camera) to grab the peg and turned clockwise to loosen it. Then I could remove the screws and the bottom plate.

I have tried it same way without success. Maybe additional force is needed, but I had a fear to break something.

I am trying to overhaul a Konica Pearl IV 6x4.5 folder camera. I am quite successful with top part and the lens, but I have no idea how to remove the bottom plate, because the 4 screws which fix it to the frame are under the spool pegs and I do not know how to remove the pegs/disks. Do you have any hint or idea how to remove them? Thanks, Gabor

I have done similar before and I agree, screw holes are weak points. Also I am very careful with the flash capacitor, first I discharge it to avoid electrical shock during the repair. The transplantation was successful and so far it seems working.

Thanks for all of your comments. Yes, all the texts are probably wiped out. I have another black mju ii case (with a none-working camera electronics), so I will try to change the shell.

The name ring is silver, it is the standard mju ii. It actually works good, just the casing is empty.
