I think I was just just lucky that I was able skrew loose the shutter assebmbly.

That is not the right method! Lucky I did not brak anything.

Looking at it closer now when I have it all apart there is a tiny threded ring that can be accsessed from the backside with a lins spanner tool or something.

I am currently trying to repair an old Agfa standard 256 folding camera, initially with the focus stuck. I have read some of the threads here on the forum and have successfully been able to clean the camera and to get the focus working.

However when doing this I had to submerge the whole focus and shutter assembly in isopropanol which resolved the hardened green greese that got the focus stuck. The focus now works fine but after the shutter housing has been submerged in isopropanol the shutter mechanism does no longer work properly it get stuck in some positions. I haved tryed to clean it several times more in case any of the green greese did come into the shutter housing, but without success.

I am now trying to open/dissasemble the shutter housing to see and access the mechanichs and maybe to lubricate some of the parts individually.

But I can't find out how to open the shutter assembly! I can't see any screws or other mechanism to open it. There are four screws on the back which I have removed, but they dont open the housing.

Does anyone have instructions on how to open this shutter housing or have any pictures on how to do it so I can access the mechanics?

I just found out how to separate the shutter assembly with the rest of the parts. The shutter housing is skrewed together with the rest. One need a firm grip och the outher cylinder (or some type of protected wrech on the outher ring) while holding the rest of the assembly.

So I now have the shutter house separated from the rest!

But I can't find any way to open the shutter house itself. I need to clean and lubricate som of the parts of the shutter. I have cleaned the whole part with isopropylen when I tryed to remove the ficed focus ring, and after that the shutter does not work as it did before so my gues is that I migt have cleaned out som lubrication as well.

Does anybody have any instructions or photos on how to open dissassemble the shutter housing so I can see all the macanics inside.
