Hello,

I need to disassemble completely Minolta MVL shutter and clean aperture blades. Cleaning without disassemblation does not help.
I have removed screws near synch selector and diaphragm control. Now I try to pull the two halves of the shutter apart. But I can't do this, because cocking rank (you can see him http://www.geocities.com/grafer75/citizen-mvl.jpg ) sticks.
So how can I access the aperture blades? Should I disassemble cocking rank to pull the two halves of shutter apart?
Could you please help me?

With kind regards,
Audrius J.

Hi Audrius:

I have a sketch for that disassembly - it can be done without removing the cocking lever. Email me and I'll send you a copy.
