I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have a IIIF with self timer and cannot get the shutter to fire in ST mode. It winds down when cocked but does not fire the shutter. I have the slow shutter speed dial set to 25 and the fast speed dial to various speeds but nothing. Can anyone chime in.
Thank You

Hmmm. Problem could be internal, because when the self timer winds down, it activates a pusher that pushes the shutter shaft down, thereby firing the shutter.

Or, the self timer isn't running far enough to fire the shutter.

It is checked, first by tensioning the self timer, loosen the big screw and then letting it run, until it fires the shutter. It isn't hard to do, but maybe tricky the first time you do it.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't cocking the timer enough for it to engage the shutter.... all is good.
Whew!
