NEWBIE alert!: Shutter for TR Triple Convertible?

Probably not worth it to try to fix it. TR's in working shutter are available sometimes at $100-125.

Thanks Jon--if that's the case, is there anything useful I could do with the elements short of returning them to the seller? Mounting them in the broken shutter will only let me use it wide open, so...

Get a drawing compass and make some washer stops.

That a good idea! How would you mount them? In front of the front element, or behind the rear one? Also, how would you calculate the correct radius for a given f number?

Try Carol. Or a used Betax shutter, carefully check measurements to make sure it will fit. I've seen a bunch of them in Betax shutters, which are actually very reliable and quite usable, like the Acmes.

Use arithmetic to get the size of the aperture, or maybe someone here has one and can measure their aperture for you. There may be some pupillary magnification that would skew the dimension. Mount them where the shutter's missing aperture was, not in front or behind the complete lens.

I strongly concur. She does wonders at a very reasonable cost.
