I get that I need the wrench for the best fit, but would such a wrench
still be available for a camera that's been out of production this
long.?? Granted the Copal 1 shutter might have been used later, but can't
imagine they are a dime a dozen these days. Well it turns out there are
a couple of types on Amazon, one for DLSRs and the one for large format
are specifically labeled copal 0 1 and 3.?? It might solve the problem.??
Looks like a card more than a wrench.
I have such a wrench that fits all three sizes of Copal shutters. It is
just a sheet metal stamping, but does the job well. (Not for sale by me.)
I did find a serial number on the copal 1, but no screw.?? I did find a
tiny hole that was covered by the retaining ring/jam nut that might be
threaded.?? As many of you suspected this probably was the set screw that
others have talked about, and thought was most likely gone.?? It is, and
at that size a replacement would probably be the infamous wish upon a
star.
I find screwball size bolts, screws, ..., available at eyeglass sellers
and model train supply stores.
?? Even if I found the screw, unless it was a very tiny screw with a
very large head, it would have to be put through the lens board itself
The screw does not go through the lens board. You just drill part way
through the lens board, enough to let the screw head fit in the hole. It
need not go all they way through. No harm if it does, though you might
put something in the hole from the back to prevent light leaks, though
there likely would not be any.
