The shutter can be accessed by removing the 6 small screws around the front side. It might need a little coercion. Underneath it you'll find the Compur-Rapid shutter with a lever screwed to the speed selector ring.
Make sure to mark the cogwheel and the bit on front of the shutter so you know where they mesh when reassembling (if you mess this up the window will show the wrong speeds).

I've just received mine and dicovered a little broken torque spring in the shutter, preventing the shutter from staying cocked.
The whole thing also needs a good clean.

Anyone got a good idea for a replacement torque spring? It only needs to be about 1/2 inch long.
