Contax II Shutter, help needed

[Carlo]

Hey,

a few months ago I bought a really beaten Contax II I wanted to repair and use as backup. Now, I have a problem with the shutter and I hpe somebody can help me. I have replaced the ribbons as well as the leather stripes at the sides of both curtains, so the shutter is ready to work again. BUT, it seems that the gears are out of alignement the I must press the release knob two times in order to be able to turn the full 360°.

Has anybody an idea what I am doing wrong? Any help will be very very welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Carlo

I have not done this repair, but think the best online instructions can be found at the Kiev Survival Site:

I also found "Zeiss Contax Repair Manual: Models II & III" by Peter Took very helpful.

I have that, but somehow it seems I do not understand the described procedure or at least I am missing something
