Howdy fellers! I'm new here and I've got a question. I picked up a lens on E-bay for a LF camera I am building. The shutter is a Synchro Compur and it's running slow. 1/200 tests out at 1/84, 1 Second @ 1.5 Seconds and the slow speeds are a bit erratic. It obviously needs cleaning and lube. I've done camera work before and lots of mechanical clock restorations, but my only other encounter with a shutter (on a Rolicord) was less than great. (The Rolicord dropped a leaf in the shutter and I didn't expect to be able to fix it so I didn't pay enough attention to how it came apart! When I got to the bottom, I discovered that I COULD repair the leaf but didn't have the info to put all the mechanics back together - SHAME! A professional repair shop referred to the Roli shutter as an "unservicable" module, so I did better than most ;-) ) So, what do you use as a proper cleaning agent for shutter mechanism? Do they get lubed or left dry? Does anybody know where I can find a diagram of the Synchro Compur shutter? (So I can get it apart and back together again.) Thanks fellers! |
