[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've decided that rather than sell my R6, I should give it a good spring cleaning (it hasn't been used in a while), and put it to use instead taking pictures. One of the things that has gummed up from disuse is the meter mode selector that sits under the shutter speed dial. To get to it (and the mechanism) I need to remove the shutter speed selector, but there is no obvious way of doing this. It stops at 1/1000 and at X (opposite ends of the dial) but turning further (counterclockwise) feels firm and does not suggest that it can be removed that way. I've been unable to locate a service manual for the R6 anywhere. Does anyone know how to remove the shutter speed dial off an R6? Or, better yet, have an R6 service manual they want to part with? And no, I don't want to send it in for a CLA. Half the fun is doing it yourself. I might replace the cover on the R6 to purple lizard to match the Softie when I'm at it too... ;) M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
