Me Super on the fritz.....

Hi, I have an old ME Super that has worked a treat for the last 3 rolls of film but it has developed an annoying problem.

When I have no lens attached it works as it should, but with any lens fitted it only works below f4. If I go above f4 the film advance and shutter works normally once then when I try to advance the film again (still above f4) the shutter automatically goes off when I release the advance arm. If I return to below f4 it does the same thing once but returns to normal after. If I unclip the lens and turn it slightly then it works normally on any f stop.

I can use it as is but only with the lens not clipped in, very very slightly unscrewed.

So it is something to do with the aperture link in the body. Any ideas?
Really love this camera even with its blotchy viewfinder so really want it fixed!

If you're in the UK send it to Robin at Harrow Technical, if you're in the US send it to Eric Hendrickson.

With a good professional CLA it'll work for years more. It seems a bit expensive, but I personally think it is worth it to have a reliable camera.

Agree 100%. SRS has a few for sale at 89-99 gbp with lens, that gives you an idea of the value of the camera when serviced and with warranty. So if you want to keep yours it is worth to send it for a CLA.

Thanks for the tips, going to contact Robin at Harrow.
