Adjusting the speed on the escapement usually just involves timing the 1 second setting. Everything else is correct then. You loosen the top screw, and swing the escapement either towards the lens barrel, or away from it, depending on how fast or slow the 1 second setting is. I don't remember which direction is faster, but it doesn't take long to reset it. Some shutters instead have a small gap slot just above the pallet that has to be adjusted by bending it. Probably why older shutters had to have their escapements replaced so often, as one could break it while doing the adjustment. PF |
