I have pretty much finished cleaning, rehabbing, and upgrading the 2x3
Speed I bought several weeks ago.

However, I have one vexing problem:  When I use a cable release, it
does not reliably fire the shutter (A Kodak Supermatic).  This is not
a shutter problem, it is a "The force of the cable release is not
being transmitted to the shutter release lever" problem.  I fiddled
with the adjustment on the cable release assembly on the front standard.
This made it better, but not perfect.

If I remove the lens, the shutter release mechanism on the front
standard (as well as the push button release on the body) exhibit
full travel.  But if I push up slightly on plunger that releases
the shutter (at the front standard), that bit of resistance prevents
the full range of motion for shutter release.

Subjectively, the shutter release lever on the lens does not feel
particularly hard to push, but it's enough to prevent the full downward
range of motion of the shutter release plunger mounted on the front
standard.

Is this a well known problem?  Is there a fix?
