Krasnogorsk 3 Issues

[Benjamin Heinke]

Hi everyone,

I have just purchased a K-3 and the camera seems to be ok in terms of motor function, the only issue is the take-up spool doesn't seem to have enough power to tightly wind the exposed film and therefore it doubles back and causes 'spaghetti', like a chewed up cassette tape. Any advice/ideas? Thank you!

I've had the issue with quarz ds8 soviet cameras. I sent them to my trusted tech. He told me he just cleaned it very well inside and now they are working perfectly. Soviet made are very sturdy and, according to him easy to repair.
