Leica M6 Advance & Rewind Repair | Fixing the Infamous Crunchy Mechanism!

A Leica M6 on my bench — this one had that classic crunchy advance and rewind feel that I’ve been seeing more and more this year. It’s a common issue that plagues these beautiful rangefinders, and in this video, I break down what causes it and how to fix it the right way. The M6 is one of the most legendary 35mm film cameras ever made, so having this repair featured on my channel is huge. I’ll walk through the teardown, diagnosis, and reassembly while showing exactly where things go wrong and how to bring that buttery-smooth film advance back to life. If you’re a Leica shooter, tech, or collector — this one’s a must-watch. 🎞️ Subscribe for more high-end film and digital camera repairs. 🔧 Follow along on Instagram for behind-the-scenes looks at daily repairs, junkyard salvages, and restoration work. ‪@LeicaCameraGlobal‬ ‪@LeicaGeosystemsCH‬ ‪@LeicaCameraAustralia‬ #LeicaM6 #LeicaRepair #FilmCameraRepair #CameraRepair #LeicaMSeries #LeicaLove #FilmPhotography #RangefinderRepair #HansomsRepairs #FastestRepairsInTheSouth #CameraTech #VintageCamera #LeicaLife
