Yes, I was bit by him when he substituted a broken, missing parts, and lesser grade Pressman D for the one I thought I had bought. Paid a pretty penny for this "mint" camera too, as it had been...

Dan, that is the issue. This model is not the "Synchromatic" that has a lever for M, B, and X selection. On those, the speeds that are within a range for a certain type of sync (M & X) are shown...
