I was refered here with the stuck shutter problem. I am really a novice at this sort of thing, but the camera was a gift from the widow of a friend and I would at least like to try to get it working. The film advance lever does not move. Another group suggested maybe applying some naptha to the shutter leaves as a way to complete the firing and free up the works.
My question: Do I tackle this project from the front-outside - or fron the inside of the camera?
Which way brings me to the shutter leaves with the least possibility of damaging them?
Thanks in advance for your help
