I have this tricolor camera with an Dogmar 8.25" in an Ilex n°4 ACME shutter that needs some care. The first problem is that I cannot get it off the camera... I do not see a way to get access to the back.
First I thought that maybe I could loosen the screws that hold the bellow at the front and then so have acces to the back of shutter and lens. But 2 screws are behind the shutter. So that cannot be the way to go. Getting through the whole camera would mean a lot of alignment to be done (pellicles need to be taken out then).
Now can it be that this shutter is simply screwed into some kind of flange? Is there a retaining ring at the back? I have never seen a loose Ilex 4 from behind so I have no idea if I'm looking at the wrong side of it.
