Hi to all of you!
I recently bought a FED NKVD 1c. It worked fine, but when I loaded the film somethig gone wrong and the camera jamed. I take apart the camera and resolved the problem. Now I can't make the curtains to work propertly. What to do? Any advice? P.S. should I consider replacing the curtains because they have some small cracks!
Thank you,
Mihai Besliu!

Dear Mihai,

Its best to replace the curtains, at this stage they won't prevent any light leakage.

You can send your camera to OKvintagecamera or Fedka for example, for a repair. They both do excellent yobs.

Good luck!

Unfortunately the repairman at fedka had passed away so they don't do repairs at this time as far as I know.
