Hi, Scott Loveless' suggestion that the sticking mirror is related the shutter. I can see that when the mirror sticks the shutter does not quite finish its run. By exercising the shutter the sticking happens less often and I can use lower speeds. Will do some cleaning and lubricating...
Thanks for your help, now if only someone would respond to my question on the MG (extra bushing/spacer left over after reassembling the shutter) I'd be a happy guy. I got the flash working on my second MG by taking off the top cover and bending the contacts up... Gee that was hard! Grant
