The mirror on my Spotmatic stays up when the shutter speed is set to 1/250 or slower. When at 1/500 or 1/1000, it returns as it should. It was suggested by someone that I clean the gears, and/or adjust the tension of the second curtain. I took off the bottom plate of the camera, and I see the gears. How should one clean them? Should I use an oil or some other kind of lubricant, or a solvent of some kind. And how does one adjust the tension? Thanks. John Meyers
