this little gadget has been a GIANT pain in my ass all weekend but i think i am just a couple steps away from having it back in good condition:

  • sort out shutter capping at 1/1000 (probably just needs 1/8 turn on the 2nd curtain eccentric and then maybe a little more tension on the 1st curtain)
  • sort out light leak
  • replace vulcanite
  • maybe check the rangefinder calibration but it seems pretty much fine (this photo looks soft but i think that's camera shake, this is the last photo from a short test roll and the rest of it is in focus)

given as when i got it the camera had one shutter speed setting and it was "about two seconds and just on the left half of the frame" i think i'm doing pretty well all things considered
