The cable, paddle etc. were all standard issue. The paddle is pretty much shutter-specific. I've seen at least three different sizes; any one paddle won't function properly with all shutters. The cable is prone to getting caught and pinched and damaged when the bed is run all the way in before the camera is closed. I have three Pacemaker Graphics, have removed the cable, paddle etc. from all three. For me, if not for everyone, the mechanism is a useless nuisance.
