Apparently I was a bit ahead of myself in my previous post. I took apart a Tempor shutter that was jammed and squirted a bot of lighter fluid on it. Well, it unjammed in a hurry and a few parts jumped out of the shutter. I've figured out where all but one spring goes and for the life of me I can't figure out where that should go. The spring on the right is the spring in question:  |

Does anyone know whether it goes under the shutter release or the pawl? The Tempor is a simplified version of the Prontor-s, but it has been simplified to the point that the tutorials on repairing Prontor-s shutters don't look anything much like it and are not of much use to me. |

Well, I figured out where it goes. It goes on the post to the left of the shutter release and the pawl, under another part. It is giving me fits though. As I type this, it occurrs to me that a bit of thread, looped around it, might allow me to fish the end out where I can hook it on though. |

The thread trick worked. The shutter turned out to be unrepairable though. Apparently Tempors are made of cheap stamped sheet metal and when I received it, the left hand pawl, which catches the cocking ring when it has been fired, had been lodged under the cocking ring a long time. People trying to force it to work had ground off enough metal that it wouldn't engage with the shutter release anymore. The thin metal either slipped under the lever that engages it or rode up over it if I tried to bend it up a little to prevent it slipping under that lever. Oh well, you can't win them all. |
