Kinda all for nothing because you did not do two most important things: clean the old dried lube from the slow speeds escapement by immersing it in a solvent and you did not adjust the speed by precisely angling the escapement on one of the screws which holds it. Also, WAY too much lubrication.
future me, i wont lie this was my first and only repair on any type of film camera so im not to sure but if i were to guess it would be the same idea. I just made sure everything went back together which is easier said than done. believe me i knew just as much as anybody else who watched this.
I am not entirely sure but you can find some great information online, www.rangefinderforum.com/classics/forum/messages/2/22427.html?1315874067 - www.photo.net/discuss/threads/focus-adjustment-rolleicord-iv.237833/ - here are links I believe might help
@@jadrienclemente8157 thank you so much for your reply. Today I used an object and ruler to measure the focusing. When I saw object was in focus through viewfinder, the feet value from the ruler matched with the value on focusing ring. I then tighten the focusing screw. I will try a roll of film and see if it works😆
And just to remind everyone, even after seeing all the parts that made up the shutter, THIS WAS THE BUDGET MODEL!! Wow!! What craftsmanship!
I was able to fix the broken rolleicord i bought of ebay thanks to this video! Im so happy:)
Great video!
Thank you. I've got a second hand Rolleicord with the same issue.
Such a good Video Thank you for posting this!!
Excellent video, very clear and very helpful! Thank you!!!

Is it much different than repairing a rolleicord IV?

thank you!!!
I successfully fixed the slow shutter. However I forgot to mark the focusing screw. I am wondering how could I calibrate the focusing now?
