Entering the heart of the shutter mechanism of any camera can be intimating especially the first time. Step by step and remembering all the postions of the screws and springs can be invigorating for your brain!
The shutter here is rather sticky caused by some old lubricants and dirt. I have to remove the retarder and timer to view and remove the shutter retainer. Take the opportunity to oil the timer as well later.
Parts piece by piece. They are precision parts and must be carefully handled from here.
There are 3 screws that hold the shutter retainer. One is longer than the rest and make sure the longer one is screwed on the right hand side as shown here. Try switching them and your shutter leaf may not open!
