Hi
I have a MPP Microcord camera, a British made copy of a Rolleicord, which is fitted with a Prontor SVS shutter. The shutter speeds are B, 1 to 1/300 sec and all these seem fine but the "D" selftimer delay is absolutely solid. When D is selected and the shutter release operated the cocking lever moves and then stops, pressing it gently doesn't start the timing gears. The camera has had very little use so the shutter could need lubricating but this doesn't feel like dry gears and the slow speeds seem about right. It's not affecting the normal use of the camera but can anyone suggest what might be the cause of the problem.
Thanks
Harry
