Einleitung

The foldable handle is part of what made the Super 8 camera iconic. The intuitive and easily stored design allowed for steady on-the-go filming.

Using the Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the three screws on the round plate on the right side of the camera handle. This is the side with the handle lock release button.

Remove the round metal plate.
Then, shift the handle so you have clearance to pass one of the legs of the button through the opening.

Flip the camera to the other side and remove the screws from the other round metal plate with a Phillips #000 screwdriver.
When replacing this plate, make sure the cutout in the plate surrounds the wiring in the handle. You may break the wiring if the plates are not seated well or if placed incorrectly.

Pull the handle slowly away from the camera and shift the handle to allow access to the wire connections.
Desolder these wires carefully and you can now remove the handle.

I like your note at the end of this guide.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
