I believe the shutter was set to one of the slower speeds, maybe not bulb in particular but certainly above a second. Thank- you for the advice, I'll have to check out my local library for anthing in relation to Tomosy.I'm wondering what shutter speed it was set at when it got stuck. I've had old cameras stick at slow speeds or the bulb setting but work OK at faster speeds. I had one camera that jammed and put it away for some time, next time I got it out it worked again; I think being mechanical whatever was stuck released on its own.
There are a pair of camera repair books by Tomosy that are out of print so I don't know if you could find them in a library but something like that might help you figure out what to do. Not sure about cost of repair, probably depends on where you take/send it and get an estimate.
I see, it appears I can still change the f/stop number though, I'd hate to ruin a beautiful camera, however simple and rustic it maybe - disassembly is most likely the option I'll have to take though. Thanks.It's a common issue with old leaf shutters. The shutter blades become coated with oil which thickens and the shutter becomes sticky or completely stuck. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned.
