I received a battered Kodak 620 6x9 folder yesterday, with the beautiful Angenieux 100/4.5 lens. The shutter would not cock, so I opened it and found that one of the parts was displaced, with its spring loose, and it prevented the shutter to cock.
I removed it to check how it could fit, and the shutter started working: it cocks perfectly and it fires without hesitation at all speeds, without that part.
Does anybody know what it's for? Is it related to flash sync? How should it be put back, I guess with the round part facing the cocking ring maybe. And if I put it back, is there a risk it will get out of place again, in which case I'd much prefer a non-working sync but a working shutter.
A couple of views of the shutter before removing the incriminated part.

Ludo, never had a Kodak shutter opened before but my first guess would be that the contact tongue should be in the vicinity of the flash connector.
Or is that a small spring sticking out of it ? The photo is very small.
Normally such a component is screwed to the baseplate. Did you also find a loose screw ? |

Hans thanks for your reply. that component is not screwed anywhere, it just slips on the post you see in the pictures. And no screws fell out of the shutter either.
I will try taking better pictures tonight. |
