Compur Shutter repairs

[Wouter from Brazil]

I need to do some work on a Compur Rapid shutter, mounted in a Bessa. I have already cleaned the shutter blades, but it seems I will have to go into the gears. Therefore, I need the assembly charts, as detailed as possible. Does anyone have a hint ? Thanks in advance ! Wouter

Wouter,
if you do a Google with 'compur rapid' and 'repair', you would come up with links like this:

http://manuals4less.com/shutters.htm

where you can get a booklet for the rapid shutter for $10

which on the one hand is a rip off, but on the other would be a great help. We bought a copy of a Linhof 220 exploded view for $25 some place else, but it was well worth it.

Or try here:

http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-88.html

but rick discusses the compur shutter only, not the rapid kind! Still, it might be useful.

Good luck!

Thanks. I of course did the google search and some sites came up. None however offers detailed charts for downloading, free. One has some pictures but isn´t detailed enough. If nothing comes up I´ll buy one.

I have a compur shutter repair manual in electronic form. Now where it is on my computer is another story. I will do a search for it when I get home this evening, and let you know if i find it.

Hi, have you found the manual yet?

There is a copy online here

Don't be put off by the front page being in french - The manual it's self is a series of jpeg scans of a 1966 manual.

Paul,

I tried to print the manual at the link you gave, but all I get there is the first page. How do I print the rest of the manual?

It isn't a pdf document, so I guess you'd have to display the page(s) you want and print each one individually.

Boy, this has more parts than a Boeing 727!
