I have an OLD Voightlander Compur lens that i use on an old B&J 4 x 5 view camera(with red bellows.) I hadn't used it in a LONG time but all was going well recently until I was no longer able to reset the shutter. Setting the aperture is fine but no matter what I do i can only use it for long exposures now as only the B/bulb setting works. The timer is lever just will not budge and of course I do not want to force it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd guess that it has to be opened up to find out what is causing it to jam. Is it a dial-set or a rim-set model?
