I come here under the full understanding that Kowa SLRs are the bane of camera repairmen everywhere.
I didn't know that when I started, though, and I have already unstuck the shutter, reset the linkages, and gleefully re-assembled my new-to-me Kowa seT only to find that I can't set the shutter speed.
The plate that covers the shutter and also sets the speed is missing a pin. Does anyone have access to such a camera, who could measure it?
I have a metal lathe and am fully capable of fabricating a new one, but I don't know how long to make it and wish to save many trial-and-error errors.
Here's what I'm talking about:
