A friend gave me this, last year. I dismantled it to see if I could fix its shutter problems, and then it sat, in parts, while the house was repaired, after the flood.
The shutter wasn't closing fully, and the slow speeds weren't working. I retensioned the shutter springs, and flushed out the escapement with white spirit.
The 1s speed worked fine while the escapement was wet, but was very slow after it dried. I decided to experiment with lubrication, and squirted some dry lube into the gears. So far, the 1s speed is fine.
