I think I have a Prontor SVS shutter that takes the Ektar elements but the
aperture scale would need to be transferred. Is this a possibility? Philip

Oh dear, the shutter on my 203 Ektar has just seized up completely.
Who did you use to get it fixed, Philip, so I can avoid them! Is there
anyone else in the UK who can fix these old shutters (or instructions
anywhere on the internet), or do I just need to invest in a hat and a
stock of ND filters?
