Tim,
Here is a link to a page I put together:
http://www.speakeasy.org/~jlmoore/speedioscope.htm
I used a Graflex Speed-i-o-Scope shutter added a
pinhole to it... The Speed-i-o-scope is basically a
re-badged Ilex Universal #3, which are easy to clean
up seem to be plentiful on eBay. I've also used the
Wollensak Alphax shutter, but they tend to be a bit
more costly at times.
You can also use most of the shutters off of the older
folding cameras, like the Kodak 3A, as long as it has
a T(ime) or B(ulb) setting. I like to use the type
that accepts a shutter release, rather than just the
release arm. Some of the older pnuematic shutters,
like the Unicum, also work well- but they are also
trickier to repair if they're in bad shape. I've had
no compunction about taking apart some of the old
folders, especially when the bellows are shot the
lenses look like a moss field.

Morning all,
While sitting with my oldest child who is sick
today, I've been trying
to recall post from a few weeks ago about some
suggestions regarding
inexpensive shutter options. Unfortunately I can not
recall the
information in the post or find where I saved it. If
someone has any
opinions about the fitness of a particular shutter I
would really like
to hear from you. many thanks, Tim
