I just purchased a Ikonta 524 with a jammed up shutter. It seems to be stuck closed. I imagine that it need to be taken apart and ??? I would be pleased to hear if anyone had any ideas or could direct me to resources.
Thanks

These shutters are easy to work on and generally don't need anything more than a good cleaning to get em going again.
Caked up grease and gunk can be disolved using a non-lube contact cleaner which I like for the presure washing or a good overnight bath in white gas to really disolve that heavy grease buildup. Once all dry these shutters humm along nicely for another 15 years till their next pit stop. |

Hi Doug:
This page will give you a general idea of how these shutters are built and where to look to clean one. You may find something more specific to your model if you do a hunt on Google. Go slowly and carefully, and note your steps as you go in as a guide to putting it back together. A digital camera is also handy for photographing each part just before you remove it so you can see exactly how it goes back later. You will need a set of jeweler's screwdrivers, some cotton swabs and a bottle of Ronsonol or Zippo cigarette lighter fuel.

OH yes I forgot to give you a couple sites for your shutter as well...You'll find tons of info on these shutters just by doing a Google. |
