But i Still often get 2) : there seems to bo a problem with the flash delay gears... I Looked closely at what happens when i cock the shutter : the delay gears seems to "load" fine but then it makes a little "bzzz", the little arm that should block the cocking ring in the "loaded" position moves, going in the wrong way and doesn't block the shutter. Can one gear be broken so it "slips away" sometime ? or is it dirt again ? I cannot reach thoose gears without tearing it all appart, whih i really don't want to...
