BLACK OUT DRAPERY LINING

There are notes on this image, please mouse over it to see them.

Above, we have a partially stripped down Seagull shutter mechanism. Shown here with the timing ring/cam in place, but not secured. This is to illustrate the two locations that follow the two cam sections of the timing ring, when you move the shutter speed selection switch, you are in fact rotating the entire ring.

IMHO the weak point in the speed selection (no doubt there are others) is the "selection finger" that follows the bottom cam section. When selecting the speed between 60 and 125 the "finger" is pulled outwards, away from the lens. This action causes resistance against the cam, more so than any where else, this in turn can bend the finger so it doesn't quite rest in the correct location. This isn't a problem at all shutter speeds but can result in two or more of the shutter speeds being incorrect. The selection "nipple" on the right hand side is rounded and follows the cam with less resistance so is less likely to be a problem, though in this shutter I found the screws that secure the whole thing to be loose, which is a problem.
