hi, my 517/16, 6.3 novar, zeiss nettar II which i've run countless rolls thru has suddenly decided to cause me grief. i cocked the shutter but it won't trip and remains in that position. it pushes the lever all the way [located below at 7 o'clock], but the shutter still doesn't trip when pressing the top button or manually pushing that lower lever. it was all cleaned/lubed months ago too. i don't want to force the cocking lever back to 'uncocked status' but how do i get it back there? do i need to open up the lens elements [again!] to get at whatever is sticking? any help is appreciated. thanks.
