Brock,

Give me big and old shutters any day. Although an interesting and 
challenging experience, stripping down a 0.0 it is not the sort of activity 
that makes you glad to be alive - it is a similar feeling to that from 
filling in tax returns. A necessary evil......

Yep, send me the 0.0 when it needs a CLA - I promise to return any of the 
cogs and springs left over and will pop a country shutter in with it so it 
can be used ;-)

Until I resolve the cocking spring issue mine is out of action.  It is now 
CLA'd and everything else works fine, ie the lens caps slide on and off 
perfectly.......

Cheers,
            Clive
