I'll just add this as an aside, as I don't think Ham has gone about in the same way. But it might help someone else. I recently flood-cleaned a compur shutter in a Retinette with dodgy slow speeds. I wasn't able to undo the ring securing the shutter, so had to do it in situ - not really advisable if you can avoid it! - drain and soak as much liquid out as I could, then dry out the remainder with a hairdryer. NOTE - in a well-ventilated area! I don't want to blow myself up! I had to do this several times before the slowest speed got near to 1 second, as opposed to about 1.5 where my previous efforts had left it - so you may need several cleans before you get the desired effect. Greg - I have a 1930s Compur with a 1/400 top speed. If it's not too much of an imposition, could you see if you have any data on that model, please? Many thanks, Adrian |
