Shutter release cable for Ilex #4

Yes - I've noticed that it needs a long throw. But I've now tried four cables and none of them will engage.

Sounds like the threads are damaged.

All but one of my LF lenses are pre-1940. One of them, when I first got it, had the broken off end of a cable release lodged in the socket. After removing that, a cable release could be installed without any problems. Just a thought.
