Great thanks for all the info Reiner, it was very helpful. OK, I got the top hood off the camera. I have tried cleaning the shutter cogwheels, but it does not seem to make any difference, except now the shutter speed control is easier to operate. I fear that the problem might be something more serious. When the film advance lever is turned it offers what I perceive as a healthy resistance, but at the very end of the motion it snaps and loses resistance. Is this normal? If not, could it be some kind of shutter return spring that slips or fails to latch on to something? The shutter has never closed on it's own, regardless of shutter speed, so i'm starting to think that something is loose inside the camera. Anyone? |
