During the last reassembly I found out, that the soft rubber "nose" of a rubber blower works very nice to clean the last specks of dust from the shutter leaves. It's very soft, but has such "grabbing" surface, that helps removing any residue from smooth surfaces. I have managed to silence film transport too, as close listening revealed, squeaky weren't the gears inside, but the stud that pulls the taking roll, it ran dry in the camera wall hole, having worked all its grease outside. I put a smear of fresh grease with a q-tip and now it winds with a quiet whirr. I can't rest just yet, however, as I found the light meter to be largely off. As I count to the few lucky, who still are in possession of an actual mercury battery, I have checked it with this battery and it's still off, by more than two stops. All mechanical linkages seem OK, so I wonder, how to adjust it... Thanks, guys! Marek |
