regrettably the motorized leningrad has no motor at all !!!! Only a giant extrathin spring built in the large advance knob does it all.
the mechanics is the same of Zorki 4 with some simplifications and ext strong steel pieces to support the advance stronke os the spring. Everything is seen with chrome top removed

then reading zorki 4 repair manuals might help i guess? :)
but i still need more information on stripping down the top plate, winding knob.. i would appreciate it if you could post some specific info on the process.

This information you can find in I.Maizenberg book "All you need to know ...". This book is in English.
If you do not have this book, write me an Email Smile

I have reassembled a Leningrad and taken photos about it (it's in german): <http://fotos.cconin.de/kameras/leningradrepair/index.htm>

The big knob with the spring can be opened by removing the two screws on the knob and pulling the knob. The spring sits in the housing it does not come out itself :-)

Vlad,

thanks, you have choosen a nice picture :-)

I have more photos, disassembling of a Zorki 4 and shutter replacement of a Zorki 3C. It's planned to make sites of this, but give me some time :-)

Btw, I have a Droug here where the long speeds don't work. Does anybody know how to open it? After removing the speed dial and the screws on left and right side the top cover does not come off. Where is the trap? :-)
