So, no clue if you are still having this issue, but if so, maybe this will help. There are actually three gears, which are then surrounded by the outer knob. The top one is the one with the ASA dial on it. The second, in the middle, is a thin gear that is actually responsible for setting the shutter speed. The third, and bottom, is the largest gear which turns a dial to actually set the ASA. When lifting the shutter speed knob, you are actually lining up a narrow groove inside it with the shutter speed gear, bypassing it and enabling you to set the ASA between the top and bottom gears. I'm still not fully sure what purpose the knob on the bottom of the top gear serves, as the dial on the bottom gear is what determines how far the ASA dial can be turned in relation to shutter speed, but I think it is safe to assume that it's general positioning is important to that function as well. Thankfully for you, it looks like your top plate and gear are still glued together(mine are not). Since we know 100 is the only ASA available to all of the shutter speeds, we can find it on the bottom gear without issue. With the shutter speed set to Bulb, we should be at 100 ASA when the bottom gear is rotated as far as it can be clockwise. This can be verified by using the knob and top plate, sans the top gear, to rotate and test all shutter speeds. Additionally, it can be verified by rotating the bottom gear counter clockwise and observing that less shutter speeds are available. As far as I can tell, this should enable you to get everything set correctly on your end. For me, I'm hop[ing to take this and a shot of the alignment of the knob on your parts to get it right on my end.
I have it together, but I'm not confident it's correct, so it has remained unused. I think I will need to have it open and in front of me to have this make sense to me. I'm tight on time at the moment but, I'd be happy to give this a shot when I get some time. Is there a way to PM contact information so I can follow up with you directly when I have a chance to open it? Thanks for the response.
When the ISO dail is on ISO100 you can chose Shutterspeed B- 1/1000 that is the only position the camera can do that. When the ISO dail is on 50 you only able to go up to B-1/500 When the ISO dail is on 200 you only able to go down to 1sec - 1/1000. So you can test if the ISO dail sits correct. Sorry for my bad english ^^
Niall Brown hi not sure if you have already fixed it but I also followed what Lada said. I found in the manual about "different shutter speeds allowed by different asa". My camera had the asa dial wrongly set. I figured that my asa 200 allowed all shutter speeds which meant that was actually asa100. So it was a case of quick realignment.
Very late reply and it probably has already been fixed but I did exactly this to mine, also has anyone figured out how to fix mirror sticking on slow shutter speeds?
@@hackpod100 You need to adjust the tension on the shutter curtain. This is common on cloth shutters. You can do it fairly easily yourself, but be warned that you may also throw off the shutter speed. There's two screws on the bottom of the camera underneath the base plate. You have to tighten one of them; usually the second shutter. I did this on my Zenit just fine on one camera, but totally messed up my second one. It's likely best to send it to a camera tech who can properly perform this & also check the shutter speed to ensure it's correct.
@@k-ozdragon That is not the correct way to do it. Cleaning of the slow speed escapement is the right way. Increasing curtain tensions just leads to increased wear on the shutter. Additionally without the means to test the curtain speeds in millisoconds, you can cause capping where one curtain travels faster than the other
@@rchelihaven5027 Sometimes cleaning that helps, but it is also very labor intensive depending on the camera. Quite often, the springs in the shutter curtain need to be tightened, as all springs under tension weaken over time. It's best to get someone who knows what they are doing to look at it. It's easy to slip & lose the proper tension, throwing off the shutter timing.
Look at butkus manual ,the shutter speed is restricted according to the film ada settings ,look at the graph asa to shutter speed in Manuel it will solve the problem
So, no clue if you are still having this issue, but if so, maybe this will help.

Yo también tengo el mismo problema mas la dificultad del idioma😅

Thanks very much. I will look at that.
