<p>I have a side-mounted rangefinder. So I took the camera apart last night and I think I figured out the problem. In addition to the shutter being a little slow, the bottom roller was getting caught on a metal ridge where the roller "bulges" out from the metal borders of the focal plane. I bent the bottom of metal ridge upwards just enough so it would clear the roller on all speeds and I increased the spring tension a little bit. Everything seems to be running smoothly now!</p>

<p>Hey guys,<br /> I just purchased a Speed Graphic off eBay. I fired the shutter a few times and everything seemed to be working. I then flicked the BACK/FRONT switch to FRONT and then back to BACK and now I'm noticing that the focal plane shutter won't reset past "T". I tried increasing the tension but it seems like there's a hard stop before "O". The shutter is stuck closed. All the other speeds seem to work okay. If I hold the shutter button and wind the shutter forward, the top roller just creates slack in the shutter. Does anyone know anything about this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br /> Thanks,<br /> John</p>
