Hello to you all,

Again I need some help.
I have, of one of my Fotokors, a GOMZ shutter with a defective diaphragm. My question is, after removing all the bits and pieces on the outside, how can I get the shutter open to reach the innards.Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Henk

Hi Henk,

I just repaired a diaphragm on my ARFO-2 and it has a similar shutter. You just put it on "T" mode and open the shutter, then unscrew the shutter enclosure and re-position the petals from the back.. Does that answer your question?

Cheers,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,
Thanks for your help.Problem is, that the petals are in such a mess, that i would like to open the shutter further to be able to reach the mechanism. I just don´t know how.
Perhaps you know another way.
Thanks,

Henk
