CANON CANONET 28 - Removing the Top and Bottom Covers and Door - PART TWO



Removing the top cover:



10. The top cover is secured to the body at five points: 3 small screws; two on either side of the strap lugs, one on the back (just below the film advance lever), The film rewind lever and a ring screw which holds the shutter button components in place. In order not to damage the 'ring screw' around the shutter button, I place masking tape over the ring screw.


11. With the rubber end of a small hammer (this small hammer has a rubber head and a plastic/nylon head) I push down onto the ring-screw. The masking tape helps the rubber 'grip' to the screw for its removal.


12. Pressing down and rotating firmly, the ring-screw is removed.


13. Ring-Screw (Chrome covered.)


14. Thin 'wavy' metal washer.


15. Slightly thicker metal washer.


16. Film advance lever


17. Thick metal washer
(Protects the top cover from the advance lever.)



18. Shutter button.


19. Shutter button support.


20. Shutter button/Film advance lever components removed.


21. Shutter button/Film advance lever components shown in order of removal: 1-7


22. Removing the Film rewind lever, by using a wooden chop-stick so as not to scratch/damage the inside of the film chamber (See also earlier posts.)


23. Top removed.


24. Flash hot-shoe contacts (inside).
