Hi all!

 

The spring winder piece on my recently bought Krasnogorsk-3 just came off the body, see the attached image that shows it.

 

Any idea how I could get that back onto it, I can't believe that would be my second body already to break within a few weeks after purchasing (on the first one the spring itself broke inside).

I was able to push the lever thingy (marked red above) back onto the the body.

The teeth of the lever go into two holes in the thing marked blue above.

 

I can wind again if I do it carefully, the problem is that it can come off any time again as this is very loose, see below image.

Any idea how I can tighten this? Maybe the two holes on top of the thing marked blue??

1. remove that small center screw which has two holes, you may need a suitable tool for it 

 

2. remove the plate and washer 

 

3. now you see the grooves where the latch is attached and you can remove the latch 

 

4. fine tune the latch to fit perfectly to the grooves 

 

5. reattach latch 

 

6. reattach the washer, plate and screw 

 

I may have a picture here somewhere...

Thanks a lot, I will try to follow your steps.

And yes, if you could find any picture that illustrates the steps, please share with me.

here's a picture what is under the 2hole screw: 

 

 

the whole procedure should take only couple of minutes 

[aapo lettinen]

if the screw is loose from the beginning you can first try to tighten it. if that resolves the problem you don't have to go any further

Thank you so much for your great advice.

This only took me a minute and all seems fine again now!
