Hi,
I bought a Thornton Pickard Junior Reflex camera recently. Despite it's age it is in a good shape. Everything works, the bellows is OK, the shutter cloth is good, the only thing that really needs attention is the shutter mechanism, which is extremely "lazy". I guess I have to open the camera to extract the shutter assembly do some cleaning and lubrication.
I have seen that some members here have experience with that camera. My question would be, how do I access the innards of the camera? Does it suffice to take the back off the case? I would hate to tear the leather of the case, because it still looks good despite the age.
Cheers,
Mark
