Thanks for the feedback, Scott. Actually, mine has the 75mm f/3.5 Solinar, which I believe all Isolette III's came with? I have yet to remove the lens/shutter assy, so I don't know what's involved yet in separating the one from the other. Hopefully it will be pretty simple.

How about denatured alcohol? I've got a quart can of it in the shop. My understanding is, it's 100% alchohol -- over 90% ethanol that's been "denatured" (to render it undrinkable) by the inclusion of methanol for the remaining percentage.

I have some 91% Isopropyl sitting right next to me here at my desk, and I know from experience that that other 9% is water. Which I guess ain't too bad. I'll use it for cleaning lenses, but not for parts unless I can flush them with naphtha immediately afterward.
