I'm working on an old Rim Set Compur from a great little Rolleiflex standard. The shutter "works" and all speed can be set and fired. For some reason the blades will NOT close. I have dismantled this shutter cleaned it and put it back together. I can't seem to figure out why the blades will not close. I can push a lever within the shutter and force the blades to close, then I cock the shuttter, release, it fires but the blades never close on their own. Can anyone help with this? Maybe send links or pictures? My guess is a spring is missing or out of place?

there is a little spring to close the blades. offhand i can't think where to tell you to look for it.... i think about at 10:00 as you look into the shutter, down at the bottom of the case near the plane of the blades.....
