Picked up a Wirgin Edixa-Mat Reflex at an antique mall. The shutter curtains would hang up at 1/25 or slower. This video offered the perfect fix. The shutter now functions at all speeds. Thank you 3:57
Great information and I do wonder sometimes if I’m being watched, as I recently got out my two Edixas and one was bought from America, with lens and I periodically go around and choose a camera to check over etc, so you popped up and great, I’ve subscribed and will have a look at any others you’ve done, sometimes you get that little snippet of info from the unexpected source!
I also agree with your comments about the curtain access and Pentax seem to suffer from curtain issues, mainly Spotmatics so age is a culprit, however I think the Edixa was made well and those who purchased where a little more selective and hence probably looked after them better, a more sophisticated clientele! 🧐🤣😂 yes there is a list of models and years if you key in Edixa!
GUYS! First put alcohol in those places and run the camera a few times to clear out old grease, THEN put a bit of oil. If you don't do this, your camera will get lazy after a month or two

Thanks a lot!!! I had the same problem and I couldn't figure out how to fix it
Wow, I can't believe a tiny tiny drop actually fixed this issue. Did it end up lasting long term? Would love to see some test photos!
Can that work for a Petri FTX camera too?
Hi, could you help me, I can't remove the Edixa focusing screen for cleaning, kind regards John Moore.
Mine the advance lever is free and doesnt spin the film spool and my shutter curtain is broken any idea on how to fix it?
