I've just been given one of these, seems to be the 1954 model with no automatic diaphragm, speeds below 1/25th, or self-returning mirror. It's in good cosmetic shape but the shutter is not right at speeds below 1/100. The right-hand curtain does not spring back all the way across its opening when the shutter is released at B or 1/25th, and at 1/50th it seems to slow down as it reaches the end of its travel (sort of shutter capping in reverse). It does seem to improve with exercise, but I'm wondering whether there is a reasonably simple fix, or whether as it's in nice condition and has a bunch of accessories it's destined to be a shelf queen? Your thoughts would be appreciated! Many thanks, Adrian |
