PF,
The cocking lever is stuck. If you take a look at the second pic. If I try to move the lever to the left then the hook-shaped part in the red box, which seems attached to the lever, hits the body of the shutter and is physically prevented from moving any further. I can't imagine that's supposed to happen so there must be a way of disconnecting the hook-shaped part from the lever arm. They're not part of the same pressing but appear to work in tandem.

Hans,
The red box in the first pic shows the lever next to the flash contact that can be moved to open the shutter blades.

Fidji,
The shutter blades seem fine. They open OK using the wee lever mentioned above and I've cleaned them with lighter fluid so they're in pretty good shape.

Bit of a mystery this one...
