I have a '53 vintage Videon stereo camera that is from my wife's family
The shutter would not cycle,  the lenses are screwed in from the front,  I removed them in the past and replaced them after realizing I was in over my head.  Recently after reading of the magic of ronsonol I reremoved the lenses, bathed the shutters in ronsonol and they now cycle.  after replacing the lenses they both are not in focus.  is there a quick fix for how close they should be to the body a difference in right and left? I reinstalled them as close to the camera body as I could and be able to join them with the rod on top.  I know they both need turned out because the entire photo is out of focus in both lenses.  I know the ground glass on the film plane plan,  but I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I do anything else.  I lost the last screw on reassembly last time,  the one that holds the pivot between the lenses,  so I'm trying get help before I need it.  also if I have it apart again I didn't lubricate the mechanism the last time,  what would be appropriate?  I could see the oil on the shutter leaves but at 50 years old who knows what conditions it was stored in

Thanks in advance
