Hi everybody. This is my first post here.
I'm working on a Kowa Kalloflex TLR which had a shutter with sticky blades. I flood cleaned it,carefully dried it, and lubed it. Now it seems to work correctly except for the B speed. Keeping the release pressed the shutter don't stay open, but it closes instantaneously. Anybody has an idea where to look? The shutter should be a japanese copy from Seikosha of the Compur which equips the Rolleiflexes.
Thanks in advance.
Marty

Hi,
I've figured out what was wrong. Just an overtightened screw that prevented the free rotation of a lever.
