Hi,
I have two ees-2, each one with different issues.
First, is almost in mint condition, red flag doesn't come up and shutter won't lock, but needle meter seems to work perfectly. Actually, the red flag almost come up, but is not visible in the viewfinder, but I can see it by removing the top plate.
Aperture blades are stuck in f16, I suppose.
Second one has a loose barrel. It seems that someone tried to dettach it. Aperture seems to be ok reacting to the light meter in auto mode. Red flag is almost invisible, and shutter wont lock on low light.

So, here goes: how can I fix the stuck aperture, tight the lens barrel and make the red flag functional and locking the shutter again?

Stuck aperture seems easy to fix, but I cannot find a proper screwdriver for such a tiny screw.

This will help you getting to the shutter.

Note that even a notion of humidity will make the blades stiff and stuck in the closed position. Clean them well, dry them up, try them, clean them again if they are still sticky and when ready put things back.
