cage, its insulator opens the memory
switch. Also, the latching end of the
memory-switch lever disengages the
mirror-lifting lever, Fig. 112. The mirror-
lifting lever then drives the mirror to the
raised position.
W hen the mirror nears the taking posi
tion, the shutter-release lever, Fig. 106,
moves down to release the shutter. The
shutter-release lever has a sliding adjust
ment; after loosening the tw o screws,
you can slide the shutter-release lever up
or down. If you move down the shutter-
release lever, the mirror doesn't have to
rise as far before releasing the shutter.
Moving up the shutter-release lever
means that the mirror must rise further to
release the shutter.
You can check the adjustment after
you replace the shutter. Hold down the
mirror as you depress the release button
at a mechanical setting. Then allow the
mirror to move up slowly. The shutter
should release when the mirror moves 2/3
of the way to the taking position.
Fig. 106 points out one other adjust
ment — the self-timer eccentric. You can
use the eccentric if the self timer fails to
pull down the release slide far enough to
release the shutter.
TIM IN G THE SPEED SELECTOR
On reassembly, it's possible to replace
the speed selector 180° out of time. Two
tabs on the underside of the speed selec
tor key to tw o slots in the top of the
speed-control cam, Fig. 105.
Start by turning the speed-control cam
to a mechanical-speed position. You can
tell when you're at one of the mechanical
speeds by noting the position of the
release-slide latch. When the release-slide
latch moves away from the release slide,
the mechanical speed-control cam is at
either bulb or 1/100 second.
Then seat the speed selector w ith its
detent notches positioned as shown in
Fig. 103. The speed selector drops into
place when its tw o tabs pass into the tw o
slots in the speed-control cam.
RECONNECTING THE TUNGSTEN
WIRE
Assemble the front-plate/mirror-cage
assembly to the camera body before you
reconnect the tungsten wire. Then set the
speed selector to the 0 position — fully
clockwise.
W ith the tungsten wire disconnected,
there's very little tension on the spring-
loaded pulley, F:g. 114. But the spring
tension increases as the scale wraps onto
the wire-hooking pulley. Be careful, then,
that you don 't accidentally release the
wire-hooking pulley w ith any amount of
