I could not find any good internet resources on disassembly and cleaning a Copal #3.
I thought this was a pretty common shutter and there would be more information out there.
Anyway, I posted pictures of how I do it here:

nice presentation!
once upon a time there were many people posting diy camera repairs... those people are mostly all gone or just dont give a dam anymore. :cool:
I'm guessing that because a few good technicians like Chris Sherlock have posted MANY, very thorough video tutorials on the teardown and cleaning/repair of cameras and shutters, that there's little need for more of that sort of thing. What Sherlock has provided over the past 5 years has been extremely useful in teaching even the most amateur camera repair technician how to do things, and do them right.Quote:

Very nice - thanks for documenting!
So helpful!
Recently, I got a lens mounted on a Betax #4. It works at sll speeds but sticks and needs a solid CLA.
I was shocked to find that there is no one here in the city of Houston that will do this any longer. There is a Precision Camera that will do it, but they are as far North of town as I am South . . .some 90 miles in total.
SK Grimes no longer will do this.
Another option is a shop specializing in leaf shutters in the LA area, but they are twice as expensive as Precision (wihch is looking better now). I have viewed several videos on this sort of project . . .which sced he stuff out me. I just can ot do anything like that anymore.
Perhaps I am aging-out of LF photography.
What he said. Nice!Quote:
