Pictures are from the shutter on an Agfa Karat 3,5 with an Apotar lens.
It's a Gauthier shutter with no model name anywhere.
I have cleaned the aperture- and shutterblades. In that process the screw (a little below and to the right of the middle of picture 2) with the spring on it had to be screwed out from the rear of the bottom plate. I put the visible end of that spring back, but I had no access to the other end, as I have not been able to take out the speed retardement unit. Now the shutterblades don't function as they should: They open a little while I tension the shutter probably because the other end of that spring is no more engaging the shutteraction ring as it should.
I will have to take out the speed retardment unit. I've done that on a few others in the Gauther family, but I'm stuck with this one.
How to take it out?
