How do I disassemble Baldamatic III's shutter? I removed the 4 screws from the back, and now the whole front piece moves, but it seems to be stuck near the meter setting wheel. Is there another screw to remove?

OK, I managed to do it and fix the shutter! If anyone reading this needs help with this camera, I am willing to help... you can email me to my yahoo address (my user there is "haiashkenazi")

I need to do this disassembly too. Can you post the steps you followed to get it apart?

1. remove the top cover(2 screws for the VF windows and 2 strap lugs which function as screws)
2. remove VF (3 screws + spring)
3. remove the plastic cogwheel (the one used for changing the aperture) and the metallic cogwheel beneath it (1 screw)
4. unscrew white coloured screw that holds the cocking ratchet
5. remove 4 long screw that hold shutter (accessed from the back of the camera - near spools)
6. Remove 2+4 screws to remove the shutter itself (see picture).
I would remember the aperture and speed before the disassembly and try not to move the wheels in the VF
(The final stage is not described fully. let me know if you need more accurate description)
