Fired the shutter button, and heard a weird ticking noise. Turns out it was the self timer! Thats come loose now, but alas the shutter leaf's still dont open. Im thinking maybe it could be the mechanism in the camera, not the actual shutter blades? Thought about giving the rear lens a clean, but have no idea what part to unscrew. The lens rear looks like this: https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/6899/8009.jpg (taken from another forum post.) Any ideas?
