Hi all. I've done some searching on the internet and on this site specifically, with no answers.
Today I took possession of a Toyo 45AII and 150/5.6 Nikkor W in a Copal 0. The camera came with two lensboards, one in the original packaging stating "1601 #0 Lens Board F/45A/23G". The in-box lens board looks the same as the one on the camera, so I conclude they are for a Copal 0 shutter.
Problem is, there is a small slotted screw head that protrudes from the rear face of the shutter. It prevents the shutter from sitting flush against the lensboard. The screw is not real tight, just barely snug (I can easily loosen it with a fine screwdriver).
To get the shutter to sit flush against the lens board, a notch would need to be machined in the lens board hole (doesn't seem right), the screw would have to be removed (but why is it there?), or I need a shim which I don't have.
Has anyone mounted this combination of lens + shutter + lens board? Thanks for any help and direction.
p.s. I don't think this outfit (camera, lens, shutter) has ever been used. Is the screw provided from the factory, and it is discarded if not required?
