Si barreges un rellotge i un donut... // If you mix a clock and a doughnut...
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Una de les càmeres que m'he comprat expressament espatllada per tal de poder practicar reparacions bàsiques fou una Voigtländer Bessa del 1938, amb obturador Compur-Rapid. Era precisament aquest obturador, completament bloquejat, el que m'interessava.
Per desgracia ja fa uns messos que vaig desmuntar i netejar l'obturador, i no recordo del tot els detalls concrets. Però em sembla que una peça triangular proxima al tirador de carregar el disparador estava encallada amb bruticia i greix vell. Un cop netejat tot només desmontant parcialment, funciona ara si a totes les velocitats prou correctament... excepte el mode B. Curiosament no actua, tot i que el rellevant son les velocitats ràpides. Ara només em falta ajustar el enfocament i restaurar les cobertes mig arrencades de la càmera. I a veure si la puc fer servir.
La càmera és una d'aquestes:

==============================================
One of the cameras that I bought specifically spoiled in order to be able to perform basic repairs was a Voigtländer Bessa made c.1938, with Compur-Rapid shutter. It was precisely this shutter, completely blocked, what I was interested in.
Unfortunately, it's some months have passed since I disassembled and cleaned the shutter, and I do not quite remember the specific details. But it seems to me that a triangular piece near the cocking lever was stuck with grime. Once everything is cleared with only partially disassembling, it works now with all speeds correctly enough ... except mode B. Curiously, this one does not work, although the speed of fast speeds is excellent. Now I just need to adjust the focus and restore the half-bursting leatherette. And to give it new life again!
