I've a nice Kiev 60 medium format SLR which works well in general. However, the flash socket refuses to trigger my flashgun (when shutter speeds < 30th/sec are selected). What do I have to dismantle/where do I have to look to find the flash synchroniser mechanism on this camera?

Thanks for the link!

However I had seen that and determined that the pivot wasn't "sticky", hence the request for further information.
