While trying to mount my Zenit 3M on the MTO and playing with it, I started having this thing happen when winding up.. top of the curtain started dragging behind... is there a simple fix for this?

I guess  , thank Yuri for making me feel better, I still want to fix them at some point though.. kind of sucks having broken cameras in the collection .. sometimes I do want to use them too... |

Vlad,
You should not be really upset about it, since it is fully repairable and the parts (ribbons and even curtains) are still available.
So you can keep in on the shelf with this knowledge in mind.

Thanks Okynek, it sucks because it's the 50 year from October revolution (1917-1967) anniversary Zenit 3M.. it is otherwise cosmetically perfect.. Beautiful shelf piece, but it really bugs me to have a non-working piece in my collection .. I guess I'm somewhat a perfectionist in that sense...

Yeh, sorry that you have this problem Vlad. I had same stuff with Kristall. It is definately bad ribbon. Without experiense shatter and evrething around it really hard to fix on Zenits  |

Man.. I was afraid of that.. thanks for your opinion, Yura! I will most likely send a whole box of broken cameras from my collection to you to get fixed over the summer |

Vlad,
This looks like a broken ribbon. The fix is not that easy, but possible, since you only need a new ribbon, which most repairmen have.

If I look inside the body opening from front I can also see a ribbon that came down 1/3 way... Don't know if it's visible on picture below.....
