I recently acquired a batch of lenses, and among them was one that came in a Compur shutter that I have been unable to date, as the serial number starts with an A (pictured). The number alone would make it a late 1910s model, which of course it isn't. Can someone give me an idea when this was made? (The lens that came with it appears to be from 1938/1939.)
146005
While the fast shutter speeds on this one run very smoothly, anything slower than 1/25 takes several seconds to release. As such I would like to clean and lubricate the shutter, but the instructions I can find online seem to be for different models. On the front it only has a tiny spanner-head screw (in the left of the picture, next to the lens thread), while in the back there are 3 regular slot screws. Should I begin with those 3 screws?
Thanks!
