Richard,
I have attached a photo of the transport mechanism that was
broken.
Krimar had a replacement part.
It could very well have been that the shutter also was in
need of some
repair and that's why the self timer had to be sacrificed.
Raid
This is the lever that cocks the shutter. It transfers
the motion of a cam which is actuated by the crank on the
camera to a ring that runs around the shutter body and in
turn operates the cocking tab on the shutter. A drawing
makes it much simpler than words. The part can break but I
think considerable force would have to be applied to the
winding crank to do it. This lever has nothing to do do
directly with the shutter so I can't understand why the
self-time won't operate. I strongly suggest sending the
camera so Harry Fleenor or perhaps to Krikor to find out
what has been done to it. The illustrations of the 3.5F show
that it has a lever similar to the one on the 2.8E and F
which switches the flash synch from M to X and also winds
the self timer. After cocking the shutter (winding the film)
you should be able to push the lever toward the V marking.
It should turn perhaps a third of a turn and stop. When the
shutter release button is pushed the self-timer will run.
You can hear it, it makes a whining sound. After 10 to 15
seconds it will trip the shutter. Again, this has nothing
whatever to do with the rest of the film transport/cocking
mechanism and should work unless the shutter was not
properly repaired.
I am not absolutely certain that the self timer on the
3.5F is not a separate mechanism, someone will correct me if
I am wrong about its being integrated in the shutter.
