Very nice Compur w. Tessar killed?

[Ian Grant]

I'm sure my Eurynar is a larger thread than the Compur, I tried the 1950's 150mm f4.5 Tessar cells, and they didn't fit. (SAme size threads as the 135mm).

I remember a sign I once saw in a clock repair shop.

It read:
Clock Repair
$10
$100, if you watch
$1000, if you tried repairing it yourself.

I hope you hit the Lotto - you might need lots of money!
Good luck.

They usually don't like amateur repairers, no. I sent a picture of the shutter mechanism to two repairmen. I hope they are humble and friendly.

Rodenstock came late to the standardisation of shutter sizes. The only lens I've found which fits into the (dial-set) shutter of a damaged 13,5cm Eurynar is another 13,5cm Eurynar!

Hurrah!

I'm planning to persuade my retired father to visit his old workplace to make an adapter for my 6,8/16,8 Dagor to fit in a larger Compur. He use to say "no, I can't just...", but after that he can't just leave the "problem" unsolved.
