The aperture blades don't close all the way. I think it might be a weakened spring or something like that. And when I set the aperture I hear the self timer set itself and begin whirring down. Any help? Anyone know of this problem and how to fix it or where to find a repair manual online?
Thanks!

The aperture blades are powered by a spring that's mounted on the back of the shutter, sandwiched between the shutter and the body. I have some sketches that relate to this, not a manual but they might be of some help. email me if you'd like a copy... [email protected]
