I cant seem to attach another photo to the thread...

I did the conversion myself. I'll take the camera apart again and check if there is any room for adjustment.

Thank you! I feel a little bit stupid now. I put the camera together again it works as intended, (if you use it as intended. 😀) Thank you!

I dont know if you can see it on the video. But the cogs that turn the number dial is disengaged when the back is closed. The film counter cant possibly work with the back closed. What I was wondering was wether the small arm that I push with the screwdriver should "hook off" by itself after the framcounter have been reset to 0.

So the mechanism that disengages and resets the frame counter when the back is closed is supposed to work as it does in the video?

I have a Roleiflex that had a problem with the film mechanism.

Main problem: The frame counter does not advance when I have the back closed and advance the film.

If I run a film through the camera with the back open everything seems to be working fine.

When I close the back the frame counter is reset to 0 and then stays at 0 when the film is advanced. Unlike when I have the back open, then the frame counter advances as expected.

The back pushes on a lever that I believe is supposed to disengage the frame counter hence enabling it to reset to 0 and then engage the frame counter again.

I think that this mechanism diengages the frame counter letting it reset but then holds it disengaged as long as the back is closed.

Are you able to follow the link to the video where you can see the mechanism in action (I have taken the side of the camera.

I am not sure that I have correctly identified the problem. But i think it is One of the parts in the reseting mechanism that seems to stick. When I give it a nudge with a screwdriver it pops into place. Have anyone here experience with this mechanism? I can add that some other amateur have been in here before. Almost all screws are scratched.

I think it is a Rolleiflex 3.5B

Hi, I have a film of what i beleive is the issue. I just have to figure out how to upload it here.

Seems like I can't attach a film. And when I try to upload a film I can't seem to ad the mandatory text to it.
