I removed the governor and cleaned thoroughly and lubed pivots on both sides. I operates smoothly. I re-installed the governor and operated the shutter. It was better, but still hung occasionally. I noticed that the slow speeds (1/8 and 1/4)seemed to be too slow, so I made a very minor adjustment of the star wheel (increased the gap on the arm). It now fires correctly every time!
The shutter assembly is back together, the broken wire has been replaced (shutter end), but now I have to re-install the shutter and lens assembly. The camera is almost completely dismantled at this point. Tonight I will try to fish the new wire through and re-assemble.
