    I received the repaired AC4040 from RMS R16823 yesterday. When I removed the cover plate on the camera today, in order to reattach the filter wheel, shims that were originally in shim C position were no longer present. Did the repair change the shim pattern, and if so, what is the new shim arrangement? In addition, the mechanical shutter was partially open. I have not attached the power supply to the camera and applied power. I have uploaded photos of the camera, cover plate, and original shim diagram.

    My colleague @Tim manages repairs and so I will ask him to comment.

    Yes, this is the new shim arrangement for your camera, as the tilt has changed:

    The shutter swings freely until the camera is powered an initialized. At which point it should move to its default position.
