I'll be removing the wooden lens mount, and using the metal screw thread on a new mounting plate/board for use on my camera. I'll look into those shutters however. It's not worth my while to fix the helical focussing in all honesty. Too costly.
Ha, I guess now you real wanna get that Luc shutter overhauled, don't ya?
