I just took possession of a Zeis Ikoflex Favorit (last model) TLR.  The 
shutter seems to be jammed, but I have read that there are many interlocks 
on this camera.  I know the finder hood has to be open to fire.  I have not 
put film in the camera as there seems to be no film sensors that need to be 
tripped.  The film counter never movers when I wind the knob.  The shutter 
does not fire using the side trigger or the top cable release shutter.  It 
hardly moves, like it is still locked.   I found an on-line manual for a 
much older model, but that didn't help much.  When looking at the camera 
from the front, there is a nurled lever at about the 8 o-clock position of 
the picture taking lens.  I was assuming this was the shutter cocking lever, 
but it does not seem to perform any function when I move it.  Does anyone 
have any suggestions for this Rollei 3.5F guy to try?  Camera looks like it 
is in great shape.
