The shutter is dragging and sticks open at slower speeds. 1st curtain is wrinkled. I am about to open 'er up, but would like to know if anyone has any insight on this unit. I am unfamiliar with this camera.

I have a VP Exakta B which seems to work very well most of the time but the shutter can stick half open at 1/100 th if I have been changing speeds. The slow speeds and DA seem to be pot luck despite following the instructions carefully. I cannot find any repair/sevice instuctions which give me confidence.(I bought the camera as 'shutter not working'so cannot grumble!) Beyond leave it alone, any good advice? please.
