Could anyone give me a head up concerning the lubrication of this section of the Contaflex IV? It would be very appreciated.

You can download a repair manual from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4O3Tuo7UDz3QmY2XzQ1UmlfSkE/view?resourcekey=0- 0-eLPyHKgA0Ynmq_hN0zpg which includes a lubrication plan for the Contaflex 3 and 4. Not sure how much use it is though as you need to be able to identify the parts then decipher the Zeiss lubrication code.

Thank you.
Silly me, I have this service manual but I'd completely missed the lubrication pages *facepalm. Looks like I need to oil the bearing of the brass cog and lightly lubricate the tooth. Also, even tho it's not shown in the manual, I'm pretty sure the toothed ring is part 45 685. It fits the description; Outer teeth, inner teeth & sliding cam for escapement.

Update:
The driving axle of the shutter also needs to be lubricated to ensure smooth focusing while the shutter is cocked. I had overlooked this important detail which resulted in a very unpleasantly stiff & noisy focus movement.
