I tried to find on Ebay a cheap retaining ring for a No.3 shutter (Copal, Compur, Prontor, all of them have the same measures, AFAIK). No luck. When a No.3 retaining ring is available, the price is very high, much more than the other retaining rings made in China.
I found somebody who's willing to make a small series of such retaining rings (plus the distancer, if needed, for example with a Technika). Unfortunately he is not local to me, and asked for a design with quotes.
I work with computers (that's the source of my alias), mostly small networks, but i a have absolutely no experience with mechanical design. On top of that, i have no distancer ring for a No.3 shutter, to get the measures.
Is there a nice soul out there who would like to volunteer, and design the retaining ring + distancer?
I am not asking for an Autocad file, even a simple jpg would do. Exact quotes, easy to read, and clear design, are everything that's needed.
For somebody who's at ease with mechanical design, and who knows (or can actually measure) the right quotes, it should take 10 minutes at most.
If somebody is willing to help me, please contact me via PM.
If everything goes the right way, i'll report on this forum when the batch of rings is ready to be sold. The price should be interesting, cause a certain number will be made.
I will buy 3 or 4 pieces myself.
thanks
have fun
