There are other posts concerning copal shutters, Most need cleaning to unjam. If you don't want to invest money ,you can try removing lens glass and carefully keeping order that they came out. You could slosh clean with ether or tri- chlor outside of course. I used to do it with marginal value cameras. The least bit of grease can stop the shutter. Another weak point is the self timer. Which responds to cleaning. If this works fine if not cla all , which you say is uneconomical. The only problem with slosh cleaning is that plastic parts can dissolve, if you are careful it might work. I have done many Yahica mat shutters by slosh clean or ultra sonic clean. and most worked after. Just don't force anything to work when dirty. Don |
