Hello:
I have recently purchased an old Kodak #31 Anistigmat 5 1/2" lens in a Dial Set Compur shutter. As this shutter appears not to have a preview mechanism, I assume that I must use the shutter on T or B to preview my scene.
The problem lies in that the cocking lever for the shutter will not operate when I place the T,B,I dial into either the T or B position. Am I doing something wrong with this old shutter or does it just need servicing. I'd rather not force anything.
Thanks for any help on this.
