Hah, I was just about to respond with my own experience trying to repair a large format shutter. IIRC the timing wasn't consistent and opening it up and very judiciously applying light oil on some pivots helped it didn't do so for very long. Probably some oil deep inside somewhere that had gotten gummy. I didn't have the courage to take it further apart and give it a proper clean.
- brudgers 5y agoA non-destructive first intervention is using electronics contact cleaner. I learned from this Fix Old Cameras video https://youtu.be/P57xV0mz8mI https://youtu.be/P57xV0mz8mI I used it on a Mamiya 80mm f2.8 lens set for C-series TLR’s two years ago. Still working. Only caveat is to also clean the aperture blades if they are part of the shutter. I didn’t the first time so it two tries to get everything smooth.
