Hello All,

I'm new to this site and camera tinkering in general.

After a little over a year, I feel pretty confident working my way around a Spotmatic--I can perform most repairs, necessary adjustments, etc.

The one thing however that remains elusive, is when/where to lubricate? The curtain shafts are perhaps the most frustrating part of this for me. I have tried small drops of Nyoil in the vaguely suggested areas, but with no real satisfaction.

Finally, how does one 'smooth out' the film advance? I have several cameras, that although they function well, the film advance feels rough and gritty, compared to the silky smooth feel of that on other cameras.

Thanks in advance
