Canon Canonet QL19 Self-timer

The self timer on this camera was not moving at all. I removed it and replaced it from the self timer from Konica Auto S2. Both cameras use same Copal SV shutter and some parts are interchangeable.


As you can see the wavy one way clutch spring is bent out way too far from the camera owner who forced the self timer lever when the shutter's flash synch was locked on M. You can only use self-timer when the flash synch is set on X. Many self timer are broken like this by careless owner. I will be keeping the broken self-timer for parts. My nephew when he was 4, he put all the gears in the right places and put them back!
