guys pls help... my tc-201 got stuck on Helios 81n and I can't remove it.the lever is half way down and has slight play, but there's no way I can get it to move, I can't get any shims anywhere, and the screws on the back of the tele are stuck and I even stripped one... is there anything can be done? I smacked it tried rotating and whatever else, do I need to drill out the screws on the back of the tele now?the aperture ring is overhanging so I can't get to the pin itself...
take it to a camera shop
>>4524203not an option everything is closed and I'm poor
I took the front of the lens out but still can't get to the latch, need to take apart more but not sure how
>>4524211nvm it can't be reached like that.I'm fucked. I have to drill.
You need to take apart the tele, although the stripped screw is a problem. I'd try to get a good screwdriver that bites into the screws that you can take out first, also use WD40.
>>4524244I tried penetrating oil and acetone, didn't budge.I think I'll try ordering a micro tap set to try and unscrew it like that.hopefully it works and I won't have to drill.
