Vintage Zenit camera...shutter jammed!? - zenith camera vintage
I have a Zenith camera, about 50 years. I'm trying to find out which model, but can not find pictures that look the same. I think it is about 1953 to 1958. However, I do not think it is he has I'ts primary objective of a "price Brussells 1958 37 mm"
Opens again, so that the loads of films. The trigger seems to have come to a standstill, as it to be the case, and the wind used in the arm to move occasionally. He makes a quiet, if I press the button to a photo. The shutter is very little trembling, he did not open, only closed Permantly.
I live in the United Kingdom and I wonder if anyone out there that could go wrong and you know, a place can know vintage camera repair. I really want this camera is fixed and used as the sentimental, my uncle who gave it up.
Thank you for any help!

Do not install WD40, somewhere near the camera !!!!!!!
It is absolutely the correct use of lubricants.
After establishing the mechanism of settlement of old films or patterns of stretch reflex are closing like dominoes, and then press the shutter button starts a chain of events. The first thing you when you press the Shutter the mirror then reflects the nature of travel, the opening of the original objective, where) the first curtain Travel timers (mechanical in his case in the vicinity that the travel of the second curtain, the mirror again. Like I said, like dominoes. It is a chain of events that the chain is completed, where the problem lies.
If the mirror does not move (easily checked simply unscrew the lens) The Goo probably because the seals closed again on the light "and paste it. It is likely that the cause of all their problems, a little higher to try to the mirror (do not touch the shiny side of the mirror is silvered coating surface and damage easily) to a costly repair. If the whole mechanismis the order you have found the error, new patches need to repair the light is easy and commonplace, it is likely that the sequence of stops further down the chain. Sometimes, the curtains (silk, rubber) were in the "Gunky repair kits are also there, but compensation is much more active, this means that the aircraft was completely dismantled and re-calibrate and re - building a professional job.
If only the seals need light, and the substitution of a simple repair, got mine from Jon Goodman in Texas is for sale on eBay, and it was a man, a great web address. Heres your link eBay --

It is a pleasure to meet, their materials are the best there is (usual disclaimer). You must also burn the alcohol and a little bit (lighter fluid lighter fluid replaces the old light seals and makes them easier to remove. Be very careful, even if you do not want garbage everywhere), especially in the mirror, and some swabs a role in paper towels and a kitchenHere's how. Jon kits come with instructions and a link to your website that has information on cameras.

They are great old houses and their value was excellent. I'm me) a medium format ((60mm film.
I think all you need is a little WD40 on the mechanism of the buckle. Was according to the construction, a classmate, which is somewhat useful, not likely I, dass This is not rocket science. Once the mechanism is not readily available, you will need a repair on the camera. Google "repair equipment, including the city and get a business that can.
Good luck.
To be honest, it's not even worth considering. The Zenith was / is a cheap brand in Russia (even if it does not work OK) and the camera is now worthless, even under good conditions. there can hardly be shooting for these days and even every mint Zenith is unlikely that the cost of more than ten euros on eBay. It would cost at least 6 times that the device is getting repaired.
I agree with the third answer, WD40 is probably not what you in your camera.
But mostly I wanted to send this link to Zenit cameras, could help determine to which model you own.
try WD40
or in conversation with an amateur camera
