At some point the shutter seems to have been oiled and both shutter and aperture blades were gummed together. I attempted to remove the back of the shutter, not realising that the insides actually lift out of the back, which forms a sort of cup. In the process, I disturbed the aperture blades, and now cannot work out how to get them all back into either of the two sliding parts that activate them. Has anyone got a picture or, once again, a bright idea? Many thanks, Adrian
