Hello guys :-)
um, I am having problems with my dial set compur shutter after flooding it with lighter fluid.

that is, the ring shown in the picture, which spins within the shutter mechanism seems to be too stiff for properly moving.

as it is the part which makes shutter blades open and close, I am having problems with using B and T setting with this shutter.

should I grind the parts a bit, or apply graphite on it?
I would appreciate any suggestion for freeing up this part.dial set compur, back plate opened

after removing all the gummed up grease from it, the part decides to work fine...
