So I bid on a supposed broken or inoperable 6X7 body... the front one... and looking it over and check it I could feel where the gearbox was set and I carefully rolled the regulator roller and I accidentally might have fixed it. So far my shutter key has allowed me to fully cycle the shutter for a few dozen times and the torque of the take-up seems good. I'll still open it up for inspection, but it is kinda a bummer as I can not reproduce the problem as listed by the seller. As much as I like the 6X7, I'll possibly not keep it when done... just sell it back on the bay after its full checkup.
Welcome... This is my little blog about stuff related to photography or around the subject of photography. I like to tinker with things as well as learning things to help me be a better photographer or better tinkerer? In this spot you will see some of my experiments and projects as well I'm sure some mishaps or outright failures. I hope you find here something that is interesting to you and drop me a note. Remember, I'm not an actual photographer nor have I played one on television.

Future project of the 6X7?
So I bid on a supposed broken or inoperable 6X7 body... the front one... and looking it over and check it I could feel where the gearbox was set and I carefully rolled the regulator roller and I accidentally might have fixed it. So far my shutter key has allowed me to fully cycle the shutter for a few dozen times and the torque of the take-up seems good. I'll still open it up for inspection, but it is kinda a bummer as I can not reproduce the problem as listed by the seller. As much as I like the 6X7, I'll possibly not keep it when done... just sell it back on the bay after its full checkup.
