I have a agfa Billy folding camera with broken jgestar anastigmat F.7.7 shutter. The springs of the shutter blades are released. Does anyone have an image of the situation of the springs of this type of shutter?

One piece (left) has to be glued in it's hole and the 2 springs must be mounted but I don't know how. Any idea?

My photos probably won't help much as I don't want to disassemble the working shutter further. However, the camera is of no use to me as it has a broken lens element. I'll send you the whole thing if you want to send me a mailing address.

I think mine is a little different. Is this a jgestar anastigmat F.7.7 shutter? I 'll post the same view tomorrow and send you my mailing address.

Here is a picture of the camera. There were quite a few variations.

This is the same situation as the one of mine. I think the difference is a timer?

Yes, the self timer looks like the only difference to me. Since they are both 7.7 lenses, it seems like it should all be interchangeable.

looks like that pin popped off the blade? You'd have to rivet it back on for the springs to work correctly.

Yes I can glue it but don't know how to put the springs on it.
