So I googled “Copal Shutter Slow Speeds Sluggish,” and discovered a youtube site called “Fix Old Cameras,” and quickly arrived at a short video covering the very process I needed, specifically for a Copal 1 shutter. Finding this video to be appropriately detailed, concise, and easy to follow, I quickly had my shutter running smooth once more.
But please understand…had I the time to part with my sluggish shutter, I would have preferred to send it off to a professional!
