Hi. I am new here and I am having problems with the search functions so I will post my question here.
I have a Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon 90mm f/8 with a Copal #0 shutter and the x-sync doesn't work. I have tried all my known good cables. The connection is held on with screws. If I take the connection off the shutter body will the switch contacts be accessible?

Thanks

Older shutter, do you have the lever switched to X?
do NOT take the shutter apart.

It's probably oxidation pay for a decent CLA. Most repair shops can doe one for you,

I haven't done anything but now the strobe fires at random if I touch the shutter, wiggle the cable, change the speed. It will fire when I release the shutter but not reliably. Something loose inside? Where is a good place to send it in the southwest?

Most likely easier to buy a different, but working shutter, with or without glass inside of it. It will MUCH cheaper, and FASTER.

I talked with Northwest camera repair and he said that there was probably a broken insulator on the sync contacts and it needed to come apart to fix it. The dealer I bought it from wouldn't cover the repair so I sent it back for a refund on his used warranty. Too bad, the glass was mint. Thanks for the responses.
