Not sure I remember than Kenzie, are you getting mixed up with the Contina?

Yoko - thanks for the tip, the service manual shows a screw on the front, but all I see is the red dot, how is that supposed to work?

I serviced a Vito once, you mean the compact one with the counter wheel on the front? Thought it was ok. If you can move the escapement back and forth a bit then yes you can position it so that it won't work. Later cameras just have the escapement fitting in one position but on older shutters like on folders, you adjust the position to adjust the timing. This is principally for the 1 second setting, the others should then be right.
