Studio Shutter Teardown with Photos

[Fotoguy20d]

The studio shutter on my 14" Verito opened and closed well but only halfway so I opened it up to figure out what was going on. Because I couldnt find a good illustrated discussion of how to do this, I shot photos as I went. So, for future reference, here's the story:

The shutter, I think it's an older one?

In the above photo, note the location of the doubled up leaf. Interestingly, this one has two doubled leaves.

The black ring with the marking just pries off. This one was difficult to get over the threads but off it came, along with the cammed/ramped ring with the arrow that points to the aperture. The cammed ring needs to go back on the way it came, the two ramps are not equal. The black ring will only go on one way - rotate it until it falls into place.

Remove the five screws in the photo above holding the plate down. On this shutter, the problem is due to the arm at left in the photo below. There seems to be a little tab that's broken off so the little lever has slipped past the little round "knob"

Note how the blades should look:

To get at the little arm, I needed to take off the gold ring seen above. To that, there are 5 more screws to come out. One of mine was so badly damaged, I had to drill it out. I didn't want to damage the blades so I removed them all. Do it carefully, they are fragile. Some of the brass pins were a bit deformed so it wasn't easy. last blade shown so I could remember where to start:

Back together and blades now open fully:
