I've just acquired a 1960 90/6.8 Angulon in a Synchro-Compur 0 shutter. The cabl e-release socket seems very loose and I can't help wondering whether there is a retaining nut about to fall off inside and wreck the shutter.
As the lens was so cheap it doesn't seem worth paying for a professional repair, so does anyone here know enough about the insides of this shutter to tell me wh ether my concerns are justified? I am reluctant to try to open the thing up unti l I have a resonable idea of what I am likely to find.
Apart from this the shutter is just fine, and I'd rather not see it ruined, eith er by a simple problem that's just waiting to happen, or by an incompetent home repair job.
