    Are Copal 3 and 3s internal parts interchangeable?

    I have a Copal 3s shutter and I was wondering if it was worth keeping it around for spare parts if I ever needed to repair a regular Copal 3 shutter? Does anyone know if the internal components of the 3s are the same/interchangable with a regular 3? Thank you in advance for your reply?

    There must be manuals available on-line somewhere . . .?

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    They're significantly different. I actually prefer the older 3S because it has far more apertures blades.
