I have just been this route with a Minolta SRT 101 and whilst heartily endorsing all the Rick and Ed have said - may I add 20 cents worth ? You may well be making adjustments which are compensating for dried out or congealed lube. If you follow all of the above and then decide to clean up and lube a few obvious spots - you might well end up at the opposite end of where you started. IMHO - it is a good idea to remove the slow-speed escapement (easy - per just 2 screws). As well as providing for flood cleaning of that escapement you then have good visual access to the shutter-dial gear-stack mechanism which you can carefully clean and lube. You can also place a microdot of watch-oil on each of the 8 shutter curtain spindle bearings. You might then very well find that no shutter tension adjustments are necessary at all. For whatever it is worth. Stuart Willis |
