I pull off the shutter of a f4.5 solinar lens'd agfa isolette to clean it. The corking ring just poped out and I could not put it back to make it work again. I have check the following website, http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/sync4.html
This is exactly the state I am having, except the corking ring is out. I can put it back but it's not working, i.e., the corking action is stuck mid-way, or the corking does not lock onto something to keep it corked. Can anyone help me out? Thank you.

When you set the cocking ring into place, it will not voluntarily seat fully down into its correct position: there will be little levers and doodads blocking it. You have to check around the edges and find these, and wiggle them out of the way so that the ring goes all the way down into the same plane as the little hook thingie that holds it in the cocked position.

It will not particularly want to stay down once you have it right, either, so handle it with care until you have the shutter cam back on to hold it all together.
