Problem for Ricoh KR-5 SUPER II 35mm SLR Camera

Sears ks-2/ricoh xr-7 film advance and shutter release problem




By ecofriendlyb on Jan 26, 2009

" "
Hi, I have a Sears KS-2 film SLR, and have recently put new batteries in it. The light meter works fine, but there is absolutely no tension on the film advance lever - it just swings about - and so I can't advance the film or fire the shutter. Do i need to take this to a camera repair shop or can I fix it myself somehow?

You probably need to take the camera in for repair. It sounds like the film transport is not connected to the shutter/mirror cage ***'y.
