If the camera was rare or cost me a lot I would go down the CLA route. The CLA will cost more than buying another one so I'd rather sell this for parts and buy something else.
I can see what you mean and from your perspective, this makes sense of course. On the other hand, I do hope someone takes it off your hands and restores it to working order. These cameras aren't being made anymore and in a sense, they're all 'rare' in a way. As film photographers, we can buy new film, new paper, new chemicals and even new scanners. When it comes to equipment like cameras and enlargers, the newly produced products are few and far between, not available in/for all formats and certainly not to all people who want to have the experience of working with film. As such, we should all to a reasonable extent treat our equipment with care, I think. It's easy to discard a non-functioning camera, but there's no way to ever get it back once it's gone. It's a one way street.
In your particular case, there would probably be several people capable of CLA-ing it and restoring it back to working order. Shutter problems like these are fairly common and there certainly are people around who have the experience, patience and fine motor skills to fix this. Give it some thought before you put it up for sale as a donor camera. From my perspective, that would be a bit of a waste.
Then again, your camera, your decision. So much for the sermon.
