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 Sad

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 Smile.. I guess I'm somewhat a perfectionist in that sense... Smile

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.
