<p>Hollo World,<br>

Can anyone tell me what <strong>051-1</strong> means on a Synchro-Compur shutter?<br>

Thankee,<br>

<p>It's a number.</p>

<p>Where is it located?</p>

<p>Possibly the Typen-Nr (Model Number)</p>

<p>Are you refering to a Synchro-Compur 0-MXV, a size 0 shutter with blade opening mechanism? That would be #1210-051</p>

[paul_harris16]

<p>Thank both of you for the speedy response. On the side of the shutter next to "<strong>Lens Made in Germany</strong>" is stamped "<strong>051-1</strong>."<br>

<p>Is that on the shutter body or on the aperture scale?</p>

<p>If it's on the scale, then it's the part number for the scale.</p>

<p>Hello Leigh -<br>

It's on the body.<br>

<p>Prontor Werke used a code to identify different shutters. For example: the last version of the Synchro Compur was 800, A Compur Electronic M 0 was 018, The Prontor Magnetic 0 was 016, Prontor Press 0-12.<br>

If this number is on the body of the shutter it is probably that item number to ID that version of the shutter. If it is on the aperture scale then it identifies that specific scale since a new shutter comes with blank aperture scales. That is why aperture scales screw on to the shutter while shutter speed scales do not mount that way to the shutter. That item number also appears as part of the catalog model number for the shutter. So the Prontor Press 0-12 shutter had a model number of 102006.</p>
