Hi,
I just purchased 6.5 x8.5" focal plane shutter to use on the back of my Deardorff.
The curtain looks pretty good with no pinholes but it has a tear next to the opening for T and it has taken the curl of the rollers. The shutter could use a good going over and tune up. Can this be fixed and if yes where is a good shop to do this?
Thanks
Art

I would suggest contacting Fred Lustig. In an interview some years back, he stated that he was able to find a suitable replacement (modern, higher quality stuff) for the focal plane shutter curtain. [/img]
