     Brad Deal Rating: N/A |
I have the camera diassembled. The cocking arm for the shutter had come loose. I removed the lens-shutter housing. I fixed this and camera started to function ok. But the lever (on the shutter-lens housing) that cocks the shutter is stiff at the very end of travel. The shtter functions and the speeds are reasonably accurate.(I do not have a timer)Aperature and focus are fine. I have not taken the shtter apart yet. does it need to be completely taken apart to clean & lubricated? Should I dribble more lighter fluid in the shutter and see if it loosens more? I cleaned the top of the camera with mineral spirts so the film advance springs and all the little levers are clean and dry. Should I lubrcate these and if so with what. This is my first try so I am not shure what to call things. Thank you for any help. |
