Hello. I have been reparing this shutter (from a flexaret standard) and after cleaning, all speeds are more or less accurate and consistent, except the "10" position. In a 6 shots series, I have read speeds from 0.014 s to 0.057 s (i.e. speeds from 70 to 18). There is no obvious faults inside the shutter. I really don't know what can cause this erratic behaviour. I think the shutter is basically a copy of the compur, and it is pretty simple, no delayed action. Any clues will be greatly appreciated. Best regards

Javier
