Happy Thanksgiving! Alas no pinhole turkey to play with this year(goin' to the in-laws) but I've noticed a few nice looking old Dagors on e-bay in Ilex built dial set compur-oid shutters. On S.K.Grime's site, our late friend makes a point of pointing out that these shutters are Ilex's version of the Edsel and should be avoided. I was wondering what practical experience you might have had with these satanic shutters? In particular, on S.K.Grime's site, the threads of the Ilex Compur-oids aren't the same as the Ilex Universals or Acmes, so I'm wondering how hard it would be to remount these Dagors in more older, more saintly shutters like the Universals, COmpurs, and Compounds.
I'll probably contact Grimes' shop, but I was wondering what expertise on the matter is available here. Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
