I would not send it back, he doen't know what he is
doing. There are some very good Rollei techs out there,
people on this list can recommend the good ones.
Even very old Compur shutters should run very close to
the right speeds with the possible exception of the maximum
speed where spring fatigue may be a factor. If the slow
speeds are off it suggests the clockwork retarder was not
cleaned or that it was re-installed incorrectly. The test
speed for it is 1/10th second, that should be exactly
accurate. None of this is brain surgery. Get your money back
and send the camera to:
