Hello Scott,
I bought another (cheap) Samoca 35 LE for donor parts,
and I compared them, but nothing seems technically missing or different on my camera.
I changed speedgears from both camera's, it gave a bit better result, but the donor camera worked even better with 'new' gear...
I think I have to drown both gears in lighter fluid to start with and lubricate them again.
I'm almost convinced that this is a common problem for the 35 LE. Both camera's tend to have insecure and irregular slow speeds 1/5, 1/10 and 1/25 (maybe no wonder after 50 years).
Maybe the problem will solve cocking the shutters on those speeds for many times.
I'll keep you informed by mail if I find out what really the problem might be.
Greetings,
Bernhard
