Copal 0 repair??? Or replace?

[Jim Andrada]

I have a Copal 0 shutter that seems to work perfectly. Only problem is that the threads for the shutter release cable appear to be stripped or cross threaded and cable keeps falling off. Is it possible/pricey to have it repaired? Who could do such a repair?

That doesn't sound like an expensive repair to me. It could either be rethreaded or maybe you can buy the part.

I'm not averse to clamping the part gently and re-threading it using a drill press for alignment (turning the tap gently by hand of course) if I knew the thread size and where to get an appropriate tap.

I believe you can get the part from B&H. Or you could glue a extension cable release into the socket, or a swivel adapter.

Swivel adapter??? Do you have a link?

Hi Jon

You were right. I found it at B&H. Problem (hopefully) solved.
