Hello,
I recently bought this (Zenit?) Quarz (M?) camera from ebay, and unfortunately it arrived non-working. I thought maybe I could disassemble it and re-lube the parts for it to hopefully not work, but during disassembly my hand slipped and a spring(? not sure if it's the correct term) fell out before I had a chance to see where it's meant to be seated. It's the part that tensions the shutter button to push it back out after you push it in, so it's pretty essential. I can't seem to find any service manuals online, nor can I even accurately identify this camera - on the front it says Quarz and bears the KMZ logo, but online the most similar I can find is a Zenit Quarz-M; this lacks the selenium light meter however and is 8mm as opposed to Super 8 as far as I know. I haven't got a picture of the assembled camera so in lieu of that I have attached a picture of the camera's front plate. If anyone has any advice on this at all I would appreciate it it's been driving me crazy haha
