Hey guys,

 

Got a second R8 recently for very cheap, it’s fully functional except the shutter speed dial, and the light meter selection switch go really rough. The previous owner said a glass of Coca-Cola went over it years ago...

 

The camera is however fully functional it’s just that it’s ‘mechanically sticky’.

 

I was wondering how to take off the shutter speed dial to clean it and it’s surroundings. As to decrease the stickiness.

 

I can’t find a Leica R8/9 repair manual anywhere.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks!
