Hi, everyone. I have recently acquired a Vitessa in stunning condition and it looks mechanically pristine apart from a sticky iris on the slower speeds. The selenium meter even responds to light, although I haven't yet tested its accuracy. I can actually see some gunk on the edges of the blades just before they close. Does anyone have a dissembly diagram to help me decide whether to tackle this myself? Thanks a lot.

Here is a link to a copy of a Compur manual.
