Ansco Memar Pronto Camera questions

[annamaria]

With Pronto or Prontor shutters it is not a good idea to use the self timer as the mechanism is weak and using it could wreck the shutter mechanism. Pronto/Prontor shutters are very robust (above comments not withstanding) and should need very little attention. They are designed to work with no lubrication so do not be tempted to use any sort of oil or (worse) WD40 on it. Dry-firing the shutter a few dozen times will encourage correct speeds.
