Holely No. 5 shutter

[jp]

There's an electric version of the shutter that might be available inexpensively compared to the normal mechanical version.

Where did you get the stainless steal shim sheet from?

They're the source of anything you could possibly need.

Why not go to the source? Why are we on page 2 of this thread and no one's mentioned it?

Hi Will,

You are thinking of Packard shutters and I was referring to the Ilex Universal No.5 synchro shutter. But thanks for the input.

Try Frank Marshman,

He's got the majority of the Ilex shutter parts/stock from when they went belly up

Thank you Steve, Tim and Daniel.

jp498, I can only see No. 3 electronic shutters so far, but I will keep an eye out for an electronic No.5. Did they make electronic No.5 shutters?

Daniel,

I have just emailed Frank Mashman to see if he has a spare shutter blade he can sell me. Thank you for the heads up.

Yep. I was wrong. I don't know why I read "Packard" when it clearly said "Ilex". Sorry about that.
I hope you can get it fixed without too much trouble.

Jody,

If the leaf was just bent, i know how to fix it. One of my threads before was on how to straighten warped shutter blades. Alas, broken in two peices. I cannot think a good glue for this. I started the search, i wonder where it will take me.

Kirk

A competent TIG welder can fix that.

As an update, Carol from Flutots Camera was able to get me a new shutter blade. Last night I a got into the guts of the shutter, and was able to install the shutter blade. All speeds consistently work as well as the B and T settings. I now have a working shutter again. I am relieved, a set of lenses can be used again.
