One is an extremely tight aperture control (I'll look into that later), the other is that the speed selector didn't work at first. (Yep, I know about only changing speed after cocking shutter). I disassembled the top and had a look, and after a bit of prying/lifting it came to life. The problem now is that I don't know how to tighten the speed selector knob so that the black line lines up with the correct speed. How is this done? Is it normal that after every shutter release, the speed selector lines up with a new speed? On my Fed5 I think it returns to a default value or to the last used value? I also noticed that the second curtain returned a bit slowly on the slower speeds. Is it lubrication time?
