Hi,
I had oil on my shutter, so I washed it with Ronsonol. Some must have gotten in the shutter mechanism 'cause it's gummed up now. Can anyone share a schematic or instructions on how to get it apart so I can clean and lube it without destroying the entire thing? I'm pretty new at this and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try a can of electronics cleaner like 5-56 that dries dry. If you wait a few hours, the Ronsonol should dry and the shutter should work again.

Thank you very much. The shutter is home, I'm at work. I'll try it tonight. Thanks again.

O.K. You were right. It started working. I'll try the 5-56 next. Thanks!
