Hello Everyone!

My wonderful father in law to be has allowed me to fix/use his uncles Agfa solinette 2. I am COMPLETELY NEW to camera repair. The focus ring was of course stuck, so we used some degreaser (the kind in a spray can with straw) and it now moves. I wanted to make sure it was all gone and it looked like some of it may have gotten on the shutter blades, so I looked up ways to clean the shutter. I got as far as removing some of the front pieces and can now see some of the "innards" but am now totally at a loss as what to do. I have no idea how to completely remove it, and Not sure what I should use to clean it, how exactly to do this, and then what I need to do to it after it has been cleaned to make sure everything is in working order! If anyone can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated! I took pictures of everything as I removed it (i'm not dummy!) so if I need to upload any of them let me know! I appreciate in advance any help! Thanks!
