Tonight I made some pretty good progress on the camera. Unfortunately, I also found the problem. I wish I could fix it, but I do not have any spare parts, and there is no way in hell I can have a bit more brass brazed onto the broken part.

 

Regardless, I will still clean it up, and put it back together and send it to the owner. Now, onto some pictures.

 

Lens Elements:

The lens and shutter pack:

 

This is the broken part. Well, I should say it is worn to the point of it not doing its job. This is a linkage that is acuated by the shutter release shaft. The tip that contacts the internal release has worn down, no longer making full contact. It is very hard to see in the first picture:

 

This is a macro photo of the very tip of the linkage. It is hard to see, but the tip has worn to an angle:

 

While I had the macro on, I had to take a shot of the timer gear pack. This is after cleaning and oiling. It is currently wrapped up in an oil cloth, to absorb the excess, and will be blown out with compressed air before I re-install it back into the camera:

 

 
The lens pack with the apeture gear train still attached. This was the most fun to take apart. No. Seriously, it was.
