The screw was in tight but the column still moved up and down, just a bit but enough, apparently, to keep the cable release from plunging all the way down consistently.
I removed the screw. It seems too short. I can't imagine why anyone would have replaced it in the past; although I did buy this shutter used. (It's clean as a whistle and the speeds are accurate.) But here's the thing: If I insert a very thin screwdriver into the hole and apply slight pressure against the — I assume it's the moveable — column, it doesn't move at all. So I'm thinking a longer screw will fix the problem.
Any other thoughts, folks? BTW, it's very kind —wonderful really — of you to help.
