1.124 Pawl Tension
Check tension of 084 pawl. It must have enough tension to
engage the 082 latch every time (Min. 7 grams, Max. 15 grams).
If tension is weak, movement must be removed and tension
adjusted by turning 089-090 stud and spring with pliers, then
restaking stud to hold it in new position. If spring is
damaged beyond repair, remove 089-090 stud and spring and
replace with new one, stake in lightly, adjust to proper
tension, and stake or rivet in place. This requires removing
movement from camera. (See section 23.100 and 24.100)

reassemble and install front according to instruction. (see

1.220 Weak Release Lever Spring
The 212 release lever sprint may be weak and there may be a
little extra friction in movement. Tighten spring by cutting off
three or so loops from the lever end, and lubricate in the
following places: 083 latch and 506 floating lever where they
engage, and edge of 109, which is beneath 519 plate assembly, 506
floating lever and 096 movement plate.

1.330 Tight Latch
Check to be sure the 082 latch is free. If it is tight, press
down very carefully on 082 latch to give end play between 096
movement plate and 082 latch, then apply “DAG” to 082 latch. If
this does not free 082 latch, the tightness may be between the
082 latch and 088 latch stud, in which case the movement must be
removed and the 088 stud, in which case the movement must be
removed and the 088 stud replaced, then place the movement in
camera according to instructions. (See sections 23.100 and
23.200)
