Good morning!
I had a technician (ICT Mountain View) cleaned and lubricated a Compound #5 shutter, and now the 1 and 1/2 seconds are correct. But the higher speeds seem totally off (top speeds more like 1/15s instead of 1/50s), and my technician diagnosed it to be a wrong cam which does not push the pin far enough.
I'm considering make a new cam by myself, and would appreciate it if anyone with a properly working #5 Compound can offer a trace of the cam contour? Or if you happen to have a broken #5 compound and can spare the cam? I'm eagerly trying to get it working so I can finally use the nice 24cm f/4.5 Heliar. :-) Many thanks!
