Righty-ho, an update. As suggested above, I've removed the film gate. I lifted the shutter curtains and/or tapes, depending on which bit I was fiddling with, with a cocktail stick and cleaned the bottom of the metal trim on the curtains with Ronsonol on a cotton bud. I also cleaned where they ran. I then dabbed the rollers that the curtains & tapes run on with a cotton bud (Q-Tip, for those across the pond) just barely moist with Ronsonol, and worked the shutter. Result - 12 hours later, I still have a functional bulb setting, and the shutter speeds up as the indicated speeds go up. The curtain closes at all speeds. Hopefully that will keep happening, and I haven't just moved gunge elsewhere... |
