I bought this nice old 9x12 plate camera with a 13.5cm Skopar lens. The IBSOR shutter went into the mid range cameras of this type up til about 1935. It is in great shape and the shutter is working perfectly, except the aperture. One of the ten blades has a pin sheared off. I have tried various devices to keep the blade located properly but it will only work from wide open down to about f/8 at which point the weak blade pops out of position and the iris becomes distinctly out of round. (I am getting good at installing the blades) I just know that somewhere out there, at the bottom of a drawer or in a box of old parts, is a damaged IBSOR shutter that would serve as a donor for mine; or even a whole camera that has passed beyond repair. I would like to put this nice old gem back into service instead of being relegated to a shelf. (of course there is still the problem of getting film into it but one thing at at time); will pay reasonable compensation and am open to suggestions. Thanks
