I just acquired a Crown Graphic in fine condition, with the Graflex branded Wollensak 135mm. The shutter acts and seems fine at all speeds with the exception of T. When in T, the shutter button will open the lens but not close it. Is it just in need of some cleaning and lubrication? I found Dan Mitchell's excellent instructions online but wanted to see if there was anything I should try before tearing it apart. Thanks!
