Not only are you benefitting, but I am also, because I am currently
receiving a camera from Australia that may have the same lack-of-shutter
conversion. Thanks to your tip, I'll be aware and examine the camera for the
shutter. Do you have any idea when your camera was converted?

Does your lens flange have slotted screws to move it back and forth?

Kits and individual parts are available from
http://members.aol.com/super16acl/.
The gentleman is on this list, and I'm surprised he hasn't replied to your
query.

Before the above gentleman began to manufacture parts, full conversions were
and continue to been done for all camera repair shops in the U.S. by Optical
Electro House in Culver City, (310) 204-6577. I send all my work to them
because the result is inevitably impeccably quiet. OEH has their own source
of 144 degree shutters, and all other parts. Please tell them I sent you.

I had OEH install one of the kits from which you quoted. However, they
refused to use the modified mirror spindle. They feel that the very tight
clearance which results when the spindle is installed is not worth the
possible benefit. I have never seen a shadow in my work related to the
original mirror spindle.
