Thanks, since posting this request I have located the placement of the pin. It's the detent for the speed cam. Also, you're absolutely correct about the shutter. After it dried overnight, it started working. It's not reliable yet, but I can tell the problem is almost certain to be exactly what you've suggested.

Unfortunately, I now have another problem. I decided to reassable the camera and tackle a different defect. The rangefinder on this was extremely dim, so a cleaning seemed to be in order. Using a Q-Tip and Windex, I promptly wiped off all the half-silvering (is that the correct term?) on the 45 degree glass plate directly in front of the eyepiece. So, now I've gone from dim to none. Have I killed the camera?
