Hello all,
Time for me to be dumb.
I've got a new-to-me Acme Synchro 4 with something else (or is it standard?!).
There is a bi-post for the flash then a lever and a thumbwheel then a shutter socket, a shutter cocking lever and then a push button and another lever which pushes inwards.
I think the last push button and lever combination is a pre-view feature. It allows one to stop down without firing the shutter. Why I'll never know !
What I don't get is the thumbwheel and its lever. There are markings 23 yellow, 20 blue, 5 whi and 0 red.
I pressed the lever next to the thumbwheel and now I can't get anything to move. It feel as though the whole thing is jammed. I haven't fired the shutter yet !!
I realise that the blue white thing is probably something to do with old flashes but the weirdness is why cocking its little lever should jam the whole thing...
Please see the digipic and reassure me I haven't bruk it.
Pleeze.
