Electro CC - slow shutter...

[Anand]

Hello!
Bought a very nice Electro CC this fall and the first rolls (Fuji 200 and 400) looked very light in the color. I took it to a repairstore and they run the Electro trough a metering (for free!) and said onley to use ISO 100 film and set the ISO-metering two dots (I belive one "dot" is the same as 1/3 stop?) below ISO 50. Then I ran a roll 100 Fuji Reala and the pictures looked very! nice.

The guys att the repairshop ment that the electronic shutter was to old and could not be fixed. What do you think?

I allready have a Yashica GSN and Lynx 14 - but the pictures from the Electro CC looks even better (sharper - mor contrast, could it be?)

Is it not the same electronic shutter in the GSN/GX...etc..

Thanks

Nice forum!

Did the repair shop clean the shutter blades with lighter fluid?

No lighter fluid

No lighter fluid

I do not think so. The guy just metred the shutter att different speeds and different ISO settings. It only took a few min. The camera looks new. Nice if it could be fixed.
The Electro CC has a minimum shutterspeed att 8 sec. but this one is no way near. 1/8, 1/4 maybe.

If the shutter is slow,it should be cleaned. This is a DIY job I would think.
