I bought this beauty as broken/for parts. This came with the shutter release and viewfinder glass broken. The battery light is working but I guess is hard to fix the shutter since is electronically controlled. Since I have no proper tools for the job I accidentally scratched the inner lens ring  in my rookie attempt give a push of the lens leafs.  |

That's just a little ouch. At least you didn't ding the lens.

just take something made of rubber. I've opened mine with a sink plug pressed against the ring and turning counterclockwise. One might think that the proper tool would be a spanner but the little marks where you put your screwdriver in are just too small to even let a spanner tool fit them. So the proper tool would be just a frictioning piece of rubber.
The rest can be easily accessed with a small phillips screwdriver.

The shutter ought to operate mechanically at 1/500sec even without batteries, so I'm not quite sure what you intend to accomplish by dismounting the lens. Anyway, I was pretty excited to find that there's a repair manual to be had on the web: Repair Manual Electro 35I hope you'll find all the info you need to get the job done. It's certainly worth trying as the electros are such fine cameras. regards Michael |

You told me of this link yesterday and I am actually reading it. It is an awesome lot of work that went into this extremely detailed document. |

You are right, Michael. There is a camera mode when the battery is missing, but even in this mode is not working.
Thanks for the manual!

[…] but even in this mode is not working. Did you try to flush the shutter blades with lighter fluid? This helped with mine. It did not work at first. I cleaned the shutter maybe 100 times (one drop lighter fluid, then wipe of with a microfibre). |
