One day, they will be worn so far that a simple clean will not restore them. You might need to build up metal on the surface (and maybe resurface) to get within working spec.

Expert in non-working solutions.
Steve Lloyd of Chroma Cameras was working on an LCD-based LF shutter. Last I heard, the prototype was working, although I think it took 1 stop off the exposure.
I recently had a 107 year old Compur shutter serviced. It had been well cared for, and the only quirk is that you have to switch to "B" from the "T" (well, "Z") side of the dial instead of the "M" or it won't stay open. The guy working on it said he could possibly fix it by refiling a notch, but the part was so small he was afraid of breaking it. I'd rather have quirky than broken.
