ralf_j. Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 <p>Just saying, tried to mark the presidential inauguration day with the appropriate camera, but no such luck, focus is out of whack, in both viewing and taking lenses, and the shutter fires at approximately the same speed.</p> <p>Oh well - need to find time and send it for repair, eventually :-0.

glen_h Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 <p>I have a TLR where all the shutter speeds seem the same, close to the max 1/300.<br> I set it to 1/300 and assume that is what it does. Usually works. </p> <p>If the focus is the same for both lenses, then it should work.</p> -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteenthumbs Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 <p>Ralf, the failure is the power of the Donald. :D<br> The shutter timing delay is not functioning/stuck at the fastest speed position. The focus error is likely the focusing mechanism being off. A CLA is in order.</p> <p>Glen, continuing to operate/use a shutter that the speeds are off 1/2 stop or more will die and such abused shutters rarely restore to correct speeds if they are repairable, some never work again.</p> <p>The shutter speed on that Compur with the delay timer not working is around 1/100 second. The 1/200 speed uses a booster spring to achieve the faster speed.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 <p>Resisting the temptation to get jokey, here's some information on the camera, <strong>Ralf</strong>. It was apparently re-badged Trumpreflex for sale by Sears. I hope you can get it going. Nice to see you around, again!</p> <p>http://www.tlr-cameras.com/German/Richter-Welta.html</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 <p>After he left MAD, Harvey Kurtzman and some of the usual suspects started a glossy paper humor magazine - only ran for two issues. Here is Issue #1, 1957.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralf_j. Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi Rick, ya this is my second Richter, i have the commie Reflekta after Richter went defunct with coated lenses and that one yields excellent negatives when stopped down a little, the only thing i hate is the single action shutter which requires delicate operation to avoid camera shake...
