Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can help me. Im trying to restore an Argus A2B which my grandfather gave me and have discovered that the shutter is stuck in an almost completely open position. I have disassembled the shutter and I have direct access to the shutter leafs but I dont know where to from here. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this? Thanks

Spray everything with electronic contact cleaner or flush with lighter fluid. Let dry. Puff a little graphite into the works. Dust off the excess. Clean the lens.

Argus shutters almost always end up like this. You might find more tips on the Argus Collector Group (http://arguscg.org/).
