It did not go all the way in the first couple of "blue screen" attempts. Aperture was open by almost an inch. Tried moving in and out with "black screen" control (should have same time-out??) and shutter went all the way in but not all the way out, although it was out of the beam. Shutter moved all the way in even if I pushed it the rest of the way out before executing an in with the "black screen" button. Tried "blue screen button" again and this time it went all the way in. The only thing I can think of that would cause this kind of variation is slippage. Mental second count seemed consistent around 13 seconds. When the thing works, 13 seconds seems good enough to get the shutter all the way in and out of the beam without hitting the limit switches at all, if not very minimally.
