Hello 8mm lovers!

I was wondering if anyone here has experience repairing cameras of this type.

I bought it from someone who had no information about it, other than that it had been passed down to them.

From tinkering with it, I’ve noticed that the winding wheel doesn’t do anything. I’ve tried opening it with no success (I don’t want to accidentally break it further). I’m also unsure about the other features.

Pardon my grammar, I’m French

Edit 1: Managed to unscrew visible screws, body still won’t expose internal, the winding wheel seems to be holding it together. Don’t know how to unscrew winding wheel.

Edit 2: Things I’ve noticed when reassembling:

-Picture per second knob
When unscrewing it, there are indicators to insure you can place it back correctly.

-Exposure meter
Able to be unscrewed.
Looking through the viewfinder and turning it clockwise, a wheel pops up with numbers (1 - 9).

-Feet unexposed
Seems to be working.
When putting in the old film that came with it, it does seem to be able to measure it.

-Viewfinder
When pulling on it, it shifts with the exposure meter knob.

-Spindle
Upper one
When turning the winding wheel, doesn’t do anything.

Bottom one
Still has tension on it, gives me a bit of hope.

-Film reel clasp
(Don’t know if that’s the official name for it, mechanism that hold the film to be exposed)
Seems to be able to hold it in place, don’t know if it will expose however.
