SHeTTER MODEL 374
The Model 374 shutter is similar to
the Model 362 in physical appearance
and operation. However.. three
slight differences in construction
allow the Model 374 shutter to have
only two aperture selections and expo ...
sure titnes. The three differences
lie in the mechanical arrangement of
the aperture wheel and scene selector
slider. the number of capacitor con~
tacts in the base block and the num­
ber of capacitors available in the
timing circuit.
8
In the mechanical arrangement of the
aperture wheel (Fig. 3) and scene
selector slider~ the slider is riveted
directly to' the wheel. Unlike the
Model 36l aperture wheel, which can
be rotated independently of the scene
selector slider. the Model 374 aper­
tUre wheel can be rotated only by
moving the slider. Since the slider
limits the distance that the wheel can
be rotated, O'nly two apertures can be
eelected.
FIG. 3 MODEL 374 APERTUR.E WHEEL
The number of capacitor contacts in
the base blO'ck and the nwnber of
capacitors available in the timing cir­
cuit are directly related. Because
only t\Vo aperture selectiO'ns can be
made with the aperture wheel. the
capacitor-switch rotor, on the back
O'f the wheel. can only be mO'ved to'
two positiO'ns~ Since only two posi..
tions of the rotor are possible, only
two capacitor contacts are needed to
allow the rotO'r to ha ve two switch
positions. In direct relation to the
number of switch positions of the
rotor. only two capacitors are
needed in the timing circuit (Fig. 4).

2. Problem Analysis
Problem analysis consists of a step­
by-step process of elimination of the
probable causeS of shutter problems.
By utilizing the information gained
through testing, a logical process of
component examination can be fol­
lowed until the component causing the
problem is discovered and repaired
or replaced.
Note: All part replacement or repair
procedures are contained in Sec_
tion Ill. Refer to that section as nec­
essary. to perform the repairs n1en­
tioned in the analysis pa.ragraphs
below.

Before making an analysis of any
problems indicated as a result of
testing, visually inspect the shutter
for the following:
CHECK ALL SOLDER CONNECTIONS.
Look for cold. poor or over-soldered
joints and for excessively long com..

B. TESTING AND PROBLEM ANALYSIS
(MODEL C TESTER)
1. Testing
Testing consists of a visual inspec­
tion of shutter action, followed by a
series of exposure tests. By per­
forming these tests, problems can be
exactly determined and indications of
problem caUSeS can also be obtained.
a. Check to be sure that the blades
function properly before making
any exposure tests. Cock and
trip the shutter while looking into
the lens and listening for the
"clicks" when the blades move
(hold the release button down
until both blades move). The
opening blade should move first,
followed by the closing blade.
and two distinct "clicks" should
be heard. Repeat this check at
least three times on all speeds.
Note: If it is difficult to see the
blade action or hear the "clicks",
 cover the photocell lens with
your thumb aI'S you trip the shut­
ter. After tripping the shutter
and while holding down the re­
lease button. remove your thumb
from the photocell lens. The
closing blade should move after
removing your thwnb from the
photocell lens.
If the blades function correctly,
proceed to paragraph b, below4
If the blades close together
(simultaneously). or if the sec­
ond (clOl:dng) blade does not
dose. turn to sub-part 2 (Prob­
lem Analysis). of this part.
Paragraph a~ of sub-part 2 deals
with problems associated with
the symptom of bla.des closing
together on all speeds. Para­
graph b. of sub-part 2 deals with
problems associated with the
symptom of the second. or clos­
ing. blade staying open on all
speeds~
Kote: When performing the expo­
sure tests below, record all
readings that disagree with those
specified. Note the setting of
the light level selector z the
scene selector and the readings
obtained. You will need this
information to analyze problems.
Prepare the camera for exposure
testing.
b. Set the aperture wheel on the
shutter to 75 and set the Scene
selector to "Dull" (bright sun or
dull day - also flash). Cock the
shutter. place the camera onto
the exposure tester and swing
it into position for testing.
c. Set the light level selector to the
75/50 position.
Z6
d. Depress the operate switch, and
trip the shutter. Observe the
reading on the x-stop meter--lt

the rea.ding if different from tha.t
specified.

g. Set the light level selector to the
75/800 position, and cock the
shutter.
h~ Depress the operate switch, and
trip the shutter. The F ... stop
meter should register 0+.4. -.2
with respect to the reading ob­
tai.ned in paragraph f. above~
Note the reading if different
from that specified.

j. Depress the operate switch, and

meter should register 0+.6" -.0
with respect to the reading ob ...
tained in paragraph d f above.
k* Insert a flash gun plug into the
socket on the shutte r. and gently
remove it. Cock the shutter;
depress the footswitch~ and trip
the shutter. Note the rea.ding
registered on the F .. stop meter.
Repeat this step three times; the

should repeat within +0.15 F­
stops of the original reading.

B. TESTING AND PROBLEM ANALYSIS
(MODEL C TESTER)
1. Testing
Testing consists of a visual inspec­
series of exposure tests~ By per­
forming these tests, problems can be
problem causes can also be obtained.
a~ Check to be sure that the blades
function properly before making
any exposure tests. Cock and
the lens and listeni~g for the
Hclicksl! when the blades move
(hold the release button down
until both blades move). The
opening blade should move first~
followed by the closing blade.
and two distinct Hclicks" should
be heard. Repeat this check at
least three times on all speeds.
Note: If it is difficult to see the
blade action or hear the "clh::ks P ,
cover the photocell lens with
your thumb as you trip the shut­
ter. After tripping the shutter
and while holding down the re ..
lease button, remove your thumb
from the photocell len$:. The
closing blade should move after
rem.oving your thumb from the
photocell lens.
If the blades function correctly;
proceed to paragraph b. below~
If the blades close together
(simultaneously), or if the sec­
ond (closing) blade does not
 close. turn to sub-part 2: (Prob­
lem Analysis), of this part.
Paragraph a. of sub.part Z deale
with problems associated with
the symptom of blades closing
together on all speeds. Para ..
graph b. of sub-part Z deals with
problems associated with the
symptom of the second. or etos ..
ing. blade staying open on all
speeds.
Note: When performing the expo­
sure tests: below. record all
readings that disagree with those
specified. Note the setting of
the light level selector. the
scene selector and the readings
obtained. You wilLneed this
information to analyze problems.
Prepare the c.unera for exposure
testing.
b. Set the camera scene selector to
COLOR. Cock the shutter. place
the camera onto the exposure
tester and swing it into position
for testing.
c. Set the light level selector to the
COLOR/50 position.
d. Depress the operate switch k and
trip the shutter. Observe the
reading on the F-stop meter ~­
it should register 0+.2, -.4.
Note the reading if different from
that specified.
e. Set the light level selector to the
COLOR/BOO position. and cock
the shutter.
f. Depress the operate Switch. and
trip the shutter. Observe the
reading on the F-stop meter -­
it should register 0+.6, ·,0 with
respect to the reading obtained
in paragraph d. above. Note the
48
reading if different from that
specified.
g. Insert,a flash gun plug into the
socket on the shutter, and gently
remove it. Cock the shutter;
depress the footswitch and trip
the shutter. Note the reading
registered on the F..-atop meter.
Repeat this step three tim.es; the
reading on the F - stop m.eter
should repeat within .±O.IS F­
stops of the original reading.
Note any variations.
h.. Connect a teat flash gun to the
shutter.. Cock and trip the shut­
ter to see that the flash test bulb
fires.
2.. Problem Analysis (Model C
Tester)
Problem analyais consista of a step...
by-step process of elimination of the
probable cause s of shutter problems.
By utilizing the iJUorrnation gained
through testing. a logical process of
component examination can be fol­
lowed, until the component causing
the problem is discovered and re ...
paired or replaced.
Note: All parts replacement or re­
pair procedures are contained in
Section m. Refer to that section as
necessary to perform the repairs
mentioned in the analysis paragraphs
below.
Before making an analysis of any
problems indicated as a result of
te sting, visually inspect the shutte r
for the following:
CHECK ALL SOLDER CONNECTIONS.
Look for cold. poor or over-- soldere'd
joints and for excessively long com­

SECTION VI - TROUBLESHOOTING THE Moon 366
- This section is presented in three
parts:
A. Testing and Problem Analysis
(Model D Te.ter)
B. Testi.ng and Problem Analysis
- (Model C Tester)
C. Abbreviated Troubleshooting
Guide.
Parts A and B are presented in two
- 5uh-parts for ease of understanding.
they contain the step·by-step proce­
dures for determining exactly what
- problems are pre sent in a shutte r
and the steps reqUired to analyze and
remedy those problem.s. Part C con­
talns an abbreviated trouble shooting
guide, which summari:tes the most
common problems occurring within
- the shutter and provides indications
of problem caUSes and remedies.
Persons unfamiliar with shutter
repair can go through each step of
Parts A and B until they develop a
good working knowledge of repair
- procedures. Persons possessing a
working knowledge of repair proce~
dures need only refer to Part C for
- reference.
A. TESTING AND PROBLEM ANALYSIS
- (MODEL D TESTER)
1. Testing
- Testing consists of a visual inspec­
tion of shutter ac.tion, followed by a
series of exposure tests. By per­
forming these tests, problems can be
exactly determined and indications of
prOblem causes Can also be obtained.
a* Check to be sure that the blades
function properly before making
any exposure tests. Cock and
61
trip t he shutter while looking into
the lens and listening for the
l1 c licks" when the blades move.
(Hold the release button down
until both blades move.) The
opening blade should move first.
followed by the closing blade,
and two distinct "clicks" should
be heard. Repeat this check at
least three times on all speeds.
Note: If it is difficult to see the:
blade action or hear the "clicks",
Cover the photocell lens with
your thumb as you trip the shut­
ter. After tripping the shutte r.
and while holding down the re­
lease button, rem.ove your thumb
from the photocell lens~ The
closing blade should .move after
removing your thumb from. the
photocell lens.
If the blades function correctly.
proceed to paragraph b. below.
If the blades close together
(simuitaneously). or if the sec­
ond (dosing) blade does not
close, turn to sub-part Z (Prob­
lem Analysis) of this part~ Par­
agraph a. of sub-part Z deals
with problem.s associated with
the sym.ptom of blades dO$ing to­
gether on all speeds. Paragraph
b. of Bub-part Z deals with prob­
lems associated with the sym.p­
tom of the second, or closing.
blade staying open on all speeds.
Note: When performing the ex­
posure tests below~ record all
readings that disagree with those
specified. Note the setting of
the light level selector. the
Bcene selector, and the readings
obtained. You will need this
information to analyze problems.
Prepare the camera for expo­
sure testing.
b. Set the camera aperture slide to
COLOR. Cock the shutter, place
the camera onto the exposure
tester and awing it into position
for testing.
e. Set the tester selector switch to
101, and rotate the Ught level
selector to the 3000 position.
d. Depress the footswitch. a.nd trip
the shutter ~ The closing blade
iJhould close approximately.2!!!.
to two seconds after the opening
bla~has moved. Note if the
blade closes almost immediately.
e. Rotate the light level selector to
the COLOR/SO position. and cock
the shutter.
f. Oepress the lootswitch. and trip
the shutter. Observe the reading
on the F - stop meter ~ - it should
register 0+.2. -.4. Note the
reading if different froxn that
specified.
g. Insert a flash gun plug into the
shutter. Cock and trip the shut­
ter, observing the reading on the
F-stop meter. The meter should
re [!ister approximately 1 to 1.S
F-!3tops faster than the reading
obtained in paragraph f, above.
Note an)' great variations.
h. Rotate the light level selector to
the COLOR/SOO position. and cock
the shutter,.
L Depre 5S the foots witch. and trip
the shutter. Observe the reading
on the F-stop meter -- it should
register 0+.1:>, -.0 witb respect
to the reading obtained in para­
graph f. above.
6Z
j. Insert a flashgun plug into the
socket on the shutter, an~ gently
remove it. Cock the shutterj
depress the foohwitch, and trip
the shutter. Note the reading
registered on the F-stop tneter.
Repeat this step three times; the
reading on the F ~ stop met er
should repeat within +0.15 F­
stops of the original reading.
Note any variations.
k. Rotate the light level selector to
the B&W Iso position. and cock
the shutter.
1. Set the aperture slide to BLACK/
WHITE. depress the footswitch
and trip the shutter. The F-stop
meter shoUld register O! . 2 with
respect to the reading obtained
in paragraph i, above. Note the
reading if different from that
specified.
In. Rotate the light level selector to
the ~ position~ and cock the
shutter.
n. Connect a test flashgun to the
shutter. Trip the shutter, and
check to see that the flash test
bulb fires.
2. Problem Analysis
Problem analysie: consists of a step.
by-step process of elimination of the
probable causes of shutter problems.
By utilizing the information gained
through testing. a logical process of
component examination can be fol­
lowed until the component causing the
problem is discovered and repaired
or replaced.
Note! All part replacement or repair
procedures are contained in Sec ~
tion III. Refer to that section as nec­
essary. to perform the repairs men­
-
- tioned in the analysis paragraphs
below.

- Before making an analysis of any

problems indicated as a result of
testing. visually inspect the shutter
for the following:

CHECK ALL SOLDER CONNECTIONS.

Look for cold. poor or over-soldered
joints and for excessively long com­
ponent leads. Resolder and trim FIG. 1 CHECKING THE SWITCHES
leads as necessary.

- CHECK FOR MECHANICAL BINDS

IN THE COCKING ACTION. Slowly
- depress the cocking arm several
times; this motion should enable any
mechanical binding to be felt or seen.
Repair or replace defective compo­
nents as necessary.
CHECK THE PHOTOCELL. Simply
look for discoloration in the photocell
element. A bluish-gray, or burnt
looking. element indicates that the
photocell is defective. and must be
replaced.
•. IF THE BLADES CLOSE TO­
GETHER ON ALL SPEEDS:

- CHECK THE DETENT ACTION OF

THE APERTURE SLIDE BLOCK.

shutter slowly, until only the opening
blade: latches~ Observe the keeper
(attached to the closing blade) a.s it
lines up with the magnet. The keeper
should be parallel with the edge of
the blade and with the poles of the
magnet. Adjust or replace defective
components as necessary.
CHECK THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE
Sot SWITCH. Follow the procedure
contained in Section nI~
CHECK FOR AN OPEN SZ SWITCH.

2. Problem Analysis (Model C
Tester)
Problem analysis consists of a step­
bY-lStep process of elimination of the
-
probable.causes of shutter problems.
B'y utilizing the information gained
through testing, a logical process of
component examination can be fol~
lowed. until the component causing
the problem is discovered and re­
paired or replaced.
Note: All parts replacement or re­
pair procedures are contained in
Section ill~ Refer to that section as
necessary to perform the repairs
mentioned in the analysis paragraphs
below.
Before making an analy.sis of any
problems indicated as a result of
testing. visually ins,ect the shutter photocell ilS defective and must be

contained in Section m.
CHECK THE FLASH SWITCHES.
Start with the shutter uncocked; the
flash-m.a.ke (Sx) switch should be
closed and the flash safety (55) switch
should be open (Fig. 8). Now cock
the shutter; the 5x switch should now
be open, and the 55 switch should be
closed. If either switch does not
function as described above, replace
or adjust the defective switch.
