Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2008 - 04:24 pm:        I'm a little baffled by this shutter. It's an ancient 1900's (?) Kodak Anastigmat shutter which failed to open altogether at all settings: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26368665@N06/3087317383/ The problem seems to be at 1 o'clock: the metal scythe shaped latch fails to catch the metal wire coil which opens the aperture. It just glides over it. I've tried bending the scythe back downwards to catch, however it doesn't work. I've tried lifting the coil, however it jams the aperture. Any ideas how to surmount this problem? Thanks.   Nickon51 Tinkerer Username: Nickon51 Post Number: 45 Registered: 05-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Cheers Greg
