I would love to have some info on shutter tear down, tuneups, etc Info on a 2x3 series b rb would be nice but as I understand all models are basically the same design. Please email me what you have if you are listening. Thanks -Wes |

Remove the back, apply degreaser or alcohol to the roller ends and operate the shutter a few times then put 1 to 3 drops of 3in1 machine oil or simular on each roller end and operate the shutter some more. Do Not use Water Disperant #40 as it will build up, dry out and gunk things up more than they currently are. I fail to see a email address in your profile or post. I have Bert's FPS instructions buried on my HD or copied to CD. Charles |
