Checking in to see if anyone has had this issue or tips on repair on the 645.

At random speeds and tripping of the shutter it will make a squeak sound, checking the back curtains against a strong light the lower curtain is visible - there would definitely be capping when this happens.

On the 645 (original with 1/500th top) where is the spot to lube and clean that controls the shutter curtain?

To me it seems like it needs cleaning to resolve maybe some dried lube that causes the squeak and shutter curtain hanging at the same time.

I think if it was a capacitor issue it would be more consistent and wouldn't have a squeaking noise with it?

Thanks!
