I recently picked up a 7 1/4" Series I Velostigmat Triple Convertible Wolly in Betax shutter. Of course like all Betax shutters I find it doesn't work all that well. I opened it up and suprisingly there is no grime in any of the moving parts at all, everything looks clean. Problem is the gear mechanism is not moving very well. It seems to stick about half the time after it fires. It does not reset it's position (self-cocking?) like it is supposed to.
The screws were a bit loose so am I suspecting someone opened this up at some point and did something to remove any hint of grease. So my hope is that if I re-greased the moving parts where they needed to be greased I wouldn't have to mess with re-tensioning or replacing springs. So does anyone know where grease should be on this shutter?
