Hi:
I am new here and just got a Crown Graphic. I was testing out the shutter timing on the lens and it is very off. In addition to being slow, it catches right before it finishes closing and hangs for a second. Is this common? Can anyone recommend a repair place in the Midwest?
Thanks for any help.

Gummy old shutter, needs to be cleaned. Google for Paul Ebel.
