I have just acquired a 'tired' but salvageable 11 - coupled rangefinder and inter. lenses. It needs a good 'CLA' but additionally the shutter speed indications on the top of the lens mount have all been eradicated. I see this has happened to other examples of this model shown on 'Ebay'. I have also 'eyeballed' a later model of Paxette - Super Paxette 11BL which has a completely different body but a similar lens / shutter mount.
The 11BL is in poor shape and cosmetically challenged but the shutter and the shutter speed engravings are first class.
So my question - is is possible to transfer the Prontor SVS shutter from the 11BL and after refurbishment, graft onto the body of my 'super'? Would I also be able to enjoy the extra shutter speed of 1/5ooth which this later camera has whereas my existing shutter max. is 1/3ooth.
