The slow speeds were a little slow and I was attempting to try to put a very small amount of oil in the pallet before cleaning it again. I replaced the spring with one from another shutter, cleaned the escapment and was done. However the spring on the flash contact was "fried" and broke off. ![]() This shutter was in overall working condition when I got it. This shutter is from a Zeis-Ikon Ikonta B. Note: the Gauthier parts list calls the self timer the "delayed action device." The main difference between the Prontor-S and the later SVS model is the self-timer. The Prontor-S uses a standard escapement retard and has flash synchronization (which is indicated by the "S" designation.) Disassembly is typical for Gauthier shutters. You have to separate the shutter halves to remove the escapement. ![]() On some Prontor-II shutters the escapement mechanism is held to the shutter base with screws from the rear. The older Prontor-II shutter is nearly identical to the Prontor-S. Several Gauthier shutters such as the Pronto, Vario, and Vero are simplified versions of the Prontor-S. The Klio shutter is a Zeis-Icon brand for a Prontor-S shutter.The Prontor-S is the full range shutter that later is modified into the Prontor-SV and Prontor-SVS shutter. ![]()
