First Don changed out the old curtains, and while it needed that, it wasn't the problem. I had sent it to be CLA'd three times to various places since I bought it in '86, most recently to Gandy about 4 years ago. It would work for a while, and then the shutter would go back to hanging. Since I was getting very irregular frame spacing, I thought the problem was in the advance-cocking-release linkage.
