I have an Ilex Acme Synchro Shutter (No. 3) that doesn't seem to want to sync the flash. Here is what is supposed to happen:
1. Set shutter speed and aperture
2. Cock the shutter
3. Cock the flash sync lever
4. Trip the shutter and Poof!
Here is what is happening for me:
1. Set shutter speed and aperture
2. Cock the shutter
3. Cock the flash sync lever
4. Trip the shutter and only the flash sync lever releases (no flash)
5. Trip the shutter a second time and the shutter opens (no flash)
The puzzling thing is that it does occasionally work but it seems to be something to do with the shutter release not fully releasing. Any had this problem? Any thoughts?
Regards,
Anthony
