Hi, first post, here goes..
I want to get inside my beau brownie as something in the shutter mechanism has come loose and the shutter won't work. I'm normally the sort of person who just pulls things apart but I'm terrified of damaging such a beautiful camera, so any advice on the best way to open it up would be much appreciated! |

Ok, I think this has a few brads/nails all around the side of the front. Do not touch the rivets on the face plate. If you gently pull all those nails out then the face should come out smoothly. I think there are two nails on top, two on each side and ? on the bottom. |

Great, could you recommend a suitable tool for pulling them out? |

Ignore last post, got them out with a combination of a butter knife and pair of pliers! Thanks for the advice mate. |

Only needed to take out the nails on the sides in the end. |
