If you find the lens is sharp, then I would concentrate on the shutter issue then get back to us. You can get a brand new Paramount PB-PF flash extension for under $20. (The cord has a female PC connection - thus it is an extension so you will need a standard PC cord as well.)
#5 X-synch is usually easy to fix. Funny, but I've never had X go bad.
Best of luck and please keep us informed.
