Hey! I just got my first two lenses for my new 8x10 rig--a Wollensak "Tasope" process lens in barrel and a TR triple convertible in shutter.
The problem is: the shutter it came in (an Optimo #4) doesn't work at all--I can't see either the shutter or aperture blades in the mechanism, and it's in several pieces... not to mention it's probably caked with grime on the inside.
So I'm wondering: Where could I find a replacement shutter that would work? I've heard that an Ilex 5 or Copal 3 could work..? Ebay, however, yields only lenses IN shutters, no lone shutters.
Help?!
