The slow-speed escapement in the shutter mechanism is gunked and requires cleaning. Same with the self-timer mechanism. This is quite usual with fifty year old cameras and is no big deal to correct at the hands of an experienced techie. But Mareklew is dead right to caution NOT to inject fluid into the shutter and aperture levers. When such solvent evaporates you will be left with sticky iris blades, sticky shutter blades, contaminated lens elements and unreliable shutter activator ring operation. A Rolleicord VA deserves better and would justify experienced attention. Hope this helps |
