Long time ago, I had a Argus C4 (with the Geiss lens mount, but I guess the insides are the same on all C4s?). I got the shutter to cock and release a few times, then something apparently broke inside, and I couldn't cock it anymore.

I recall reading about this problem, did a few searches, but did not find the thread.

Any experts here who can give me tips as to where to look? Likely on the top or the bottom?

I suspect it is partly a lubrication issue-- so where should I dab the grease to prevent breakage if I ever get another C4? Or is it connected to dirty shutter blade syndrome?

It's no good to me as it is, so I will tear into it when I have a couple of hours to spend on it.
