So I need some impossible to find parts. Anyone got a junk shutter from a 135 Graftar or Raptar laying about? I would be interested in acquiring it.
For those who have read that you can fix one of these shutters by socking it in lighter fluid. Run away from that advice. The only thing oiled in these is the pivots or the gear wheels, everything else is a sliding contact that requires grease which the soak removes.
The Repair Manual is for a slightly different shutter (prob. changed the design over the years). I will be posting some more about this on my journal, and hope to put up something better than the factory instructions on my website within a week or so.
