This is a question about the Canon New FD 100mm f/2.8 lens.

It was working until it was stored for 10 years. Now when I try to change the aperture, nothing happens, and when I focus it, I'm hearing a sound like a loose screw or spring might cause if it was rubbing or rolling against something.

Does anyone have an estimate of the difficulty of getting in there and fixing it, or at least a hunch about what might have popped out and is now loose?
