controls the shutter-speed  scale.  First set 
the 0 shutter-speed  setting,  Fig.  103;  that 

lets  off  most  of  the  initial  tension. 
Remove the speed  knob and  unscrew the 
nut  holding  the  speed  selector.  Then,  as 

you  lift o ff the speed  selector,  disconnect 

the  tungsten  wire  from   the  adjustment 

collar,  Fig.  103.  Careful  —  the  ball  detent 
and  compression  spring  for  the  speed 
selector  will  be  loose.  W e'll  describe  the 
procedure  fo r  reconnecting  the  tungsten 

wire  during  reassembly.

Now  take  out  the  tw o  screws  holding 

the  pulley  bracket,  Fig.  103.  W atch  for 

the  loose  spacer  under  one  end  of  the 

bracket  (the end  closer  to  the back  of the 
camera).  Now  lift out the mask  lever.  Fig.

103,  and  disconnect  the  wire  link  that 
runs  between  the  mask  lever  and  the 

viewfinder  mask.

Remove  the  complete  flex  circuit  by 

taking  out  the  tw o  screws  holding  the 
RTV  resistor,  the  tw o screws  holding  the 

SPD  board,  and  the  tw o  ground  screws 
at the side of the mirror cage.  A t the back 

of  the  flex  circuit,  you  can  now  see  the 

LED  display  and  IC2,  Fig.  104.

If  you  just  want  to  check  IC2,  you  can 

reach the IC w itho u t completely removing 

the  flex  circuit.  Take  out  the  tw o  ground 

screws  at  the  side  of  the  mirror  cage. 
Then  lift the  LED  base plate,  Fig.  104,  far 
enough  from  the mirror cage to reach  the 

IC.  Suppose,  for  example,  that  you're 
getting  no  LED  readout..You  might check 

for  3V  at  pin  2  of  IC2,  Fig.  104,  w ith  the 

release  button  partially  depressed.

It's also possible to check the individual 

LEDs  w itho u t  removing  the  flex  circuit 

completely.  Fig.  104  points  out  the  hole 

that  receives  the  ground  screw.  Connect 

a  jumper  between  the  ground  land  at the 

other side of this hole and the fro n t plate. 
Then  push  the  release button  part way to 
supply  the  LED  anode  voltages.

If  you  now  short  between  a  cathode 

lead  and  ground.  Fig.  104,  the  LED  con­
nected  to  that  output  should  turn  on. 

W hat if it doesn't? The particular  LED  may 

not  be  getting  the  3V  anode  voltage  (you 
can  check the anode voltages after remov­
ing the plastic cover over the LED display). 

Or  the  LED  may  be  defective.  However, 

you  can't  get  the  LED  base  plate  as  a 
separate  part.  A  defective  LED  requires 

replacing  the  complete  flex  circuit.

Fig.  105  shows  the  top  of  the  shutter/

mirror-cage  assembly  after  removing  the 

flex  circuit.  Notice  that the speed-control 

cam is now loose.  In Fig.  105,  you can see 

how  the  speed-control  cam  positions  the 
mechanical-speed  lever  (the  lever  that 

controls  the  shutter's  bulb  lever).  A  pin 

on  the  mechanical-speed  lever  rides 

against  the  speed-control  cam.  The  pin 

on  the  underside  of  the  speed-control 

cam  positions  the  release-slide  latch.

MIRROR-CAGE  REPAIRS

For  most  of  the  mechanical  repairs  on 

the  mirror  cage,  you  don 't  have  to 
remove  either  the flex  circuit  or  the  shut­

ter.  In  fact,  you  may  not  even  have  to 

remove  the  mirror  cage  from   the  body 

casting.  If  the  problem  is  in  the  air 

cylinder  or  the  memory-time-lag  adjust-
