I never said that in those 8 years of lessons I ever learned anything  But yes, it's the 1st string E. Looks like I'm going to have to disassemble the whole thing again to get at the aperture blades. It will give me the opportunity to give it all a good clean though. That should fix the slow speeds. Another problem appears to be the timing of the gears in the film advance / cocking mechanism. Turning the crank does not actually move the actuator arm far enough to fully cock the shutter. It could be something is bent out of shape. Oxidation on the body has also caused some bits to lock up, like the film loaded/empty indicator. Another one to add to the to-do list. |
