I have a reasonable amount of experience with camera restoration, but shutter mechanics terrify me. I have two Synchro Compur shutters with the same problem, one self-induced: the cocking mechanism hangs. I actually triggered the problem in the second shutter, by examining it to try to fix the first one. I moved a lever to the right and cannot move it back to its original position--the same condition I noted in the first shutter.
I suspect this is a simple problem of a lockout that can be reset, but I don't have much of a clue about which feature of the shutter has been enabled, though intuition suggests the self-time mechanism.
Can someone with an understanding of Compurs help?
There are pictures of the mechanism and the suspect part at:
