Hi everybody.
Ive just bought a Voigtlander Heliar 21cm in Compound III shutter. Accordind its serial number was made about 1953 and it is coated. I’ve tried to unscrew the cells to clean them. The rear cell unscrew easily, but the front cell looks blocked, and I can’t take it apart.
Searching the web I’ve found a casual reference that there is a screw that secures the cell and prevents to take it apart, without giving more details.
Is that correct? If that is the case, where it is located?
In any case, is there a safe way to unscrew the cell without damagin it?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Javier
