I just picked up a 6x9 Adox sports folding camera. The shutter speeds at the slow end are slower than normal. For instance the 1 sec stays open. Can I fix this or just shoot at higher speeds?

Easy fix. Open the shutter and spray out the old grease and gunk with a can of degreaser spray (one that does not leave a greasy residue, use the type that dries clean). I don't know how to open the shutter on this one. Does it have a Pronto or Prontor SV/SVS shutter?
