thanks, david, i already saw that page when i cleaned my old compound shutter a short time ago. i think that's where i got the idea for doing the long soak with this here himatic 9 shutter. it may be of interest to some that the shutter freed up again after i discovered that one end of a spring (wire non-coiled type) in the film advance ratchet mechanism had come unseated. i reseated it, gave the mechanism a little back-and-forth, and it unjammed. somehow this was feeding back into the shutter, because after a short time the shutter clocked-out and closed again. shutter is still sticking closed, though now the slow-speed gears are ticking down so the naphtha treatments do seem to be having an effect. maybe i won't have to break it all completely apart after all. i'd really hate to have to resolder all those closely spaced connections! :-(( |
