The shutter of my Zeiss Ikon Contessa Piccolette, a Compur, does not seem to take any speeds into account. It only has its fast speed apparantly.
I have taken off the speed selector dial and found two pins driven by two cams. These seem to work properly, but I don't know exactly how they should behave.
I am thinking of taking the lid of the shutter, but I don't know how much I should disassemble. Would be nice to avoid taking off the lens. When I take off the plate with aperture numbers, there is a screw appearing, and one other is already visible. I think these two must come off, and I expect a third one opposite. Perhaps that one is also under something?

Does someone know how to do it?

Thanks,
Ron

i have some sketches from a dial set compur, it's not quite identical to the one on the piccolette, but you're welcome to a copy if it might help. [email protected]

Great. Would that be what the Compur is like on the inside? I also need help on just getting the lid off without taking everything else off?
I'll send you a mail.
