I have an old Press-Compur shutter, but the blades have some oil. The slow shutter speed is slower than normal. I think it needs CLA. Does anyone know who can do professional CLA for old shutter in North America? Thank you!

http://flutotscamerarepair.com/index.htm is probably one of the best.
Any good repair shop can clean that for you.

Thank both members to advise me!
I download a manual to open the shutter last night. I cleaned the oil on blades. But I found that 1s and 1/2s shutter speed is lower than normal. Is somebody know how to adjust it? Thank you!
I believe there is a slow shutter adjustment screw on the back of some compur shutters.
However there's still a good chance the slow speed shutter is still gummed up with old grease causing the problem.
(there are actually 2 clocks built in, 1 for a high speed shutter and 1 low speed)
If you want to try messing with the speed find the adjusting screw and go nuts.
However if you want things done properly send it in for a CLA (Clean, Lubricate, and Adjust)
Then it should be fixed properly, and work reliably for decades to come.
Does somebody know S.K. Grimes? They provide LF shutter CLA. Did somebody try their services? Thx
SK Grimes does very good work.
Thank you Mark! I shipped my shutter to SK Grimes for CLA.
