Any chance that you can un-private it?
Thanks!

eddie ... do you ever use the shutter as a non - bulb/time shutter ?
i have had a few studio shutters, and they work great by flicking the long throw release
if you use a bulb release ( degroff ) ...
the shutter blades open and close very fast ... i can get to around 1/50th or 1/60th S with a fast squeeze
and 1/10thS or around there with a slow one ...
and a long sustained squeeze of a bulb will ... keep the shutter open ( on BULB ) until you squeeze it again.
lot of control, and really easy !
degroff cylinders appear on eboink all the time for just a few dollars, and coupled with bloodpressure hose + bulb ...
(probably the best release money can buy )
hi lachlan, if you click on the little youtube icon by eddie's hand, you will be transported to youtube
where it isn't locked-down ....

Great job Eddie ... Studio Shutter operation is a pretty common question and a video makes it soooo much easier to explain.
As far as speed is concerned, I don't think I've ever gotten faster than 1/5 ... maybe 1/10 ... using the "quick flick" method. But I shoot almost exclusively wide open . . . or close to it ... so that might limit speed.
I'd love to figure out a way to hit 1/50 of a second (I'm not familiar with a degroff bulb) . Anybody else been able to do that.
The open/close switch is also often missing . . . the switch itself is pretty easy to fabricate but the little shoulder screw that is used to hold it is impossible to find . . . Anybody know of a source . . . the usual online screw suppliers don't carry anything that small.

Wolly used to claim about 1/5th second with these. Obviously with smaller diameter aperture it may be a bit faster, but probably not much.
maybe ...
but i have made side by side exposures with a studio and copal shutter .. same everything .. soup too ..
they looked the same, and printed the same ... ( i think i would have noticed a 2-3 stop difference ... )
ive never had troubles with a degroff, and they work great with a betax and alphax and other shutters ..
Thanks, Eddie. I have never seen one, so it was good to see what the studio shutter was all about.
