Fixed a Rolleiflex shutter in 2 hours that had been sitting broken on my bench since January
I had a customer's 3.5F Rolleiflex taking up space on my bench since January because the shutter was stuck at 1/500 and I could not figure out why. Last Tuesday I was cleaning up and decided to give it one more look before calling the guy to say I could not fix it. Turned out a tiny piece of old lube had hardened on the slow speed escapement and was jamming the whole works, took me 20 minutes with some naphtha and a toothpick. The customer was so happy he brought me a six pack of Shiner Bock the next day. What is the longest something has sat on your bench before you finally cracked it?

Read somewhere that old lube is the culprit like 90% of the time.
