Air bulb releases for Compound shutters

[Diane Maher]

I have several lenses whose shutters will not accept a contemporary cable release. Is there a source to obtain air bulbs and tubing?

I bought a very cheap air bulb for blood pressure meters on ebay (~$3). It works well with Packard #6.

I picked up a complete sphygnomometer from a local drug store for less than $10 just to get the hose and bulb.

Diane,

If you can't find anything locally, go to http://packardshutter.com/ . I have a couple of their air bulbs and find them more satisfactory than the medical variety.

If you email me your mailing address, I'll send you a bulb and some tubing no charge. How much tubing do you want?
