stuck shutter blades on a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex super

[mrwestphal]

Any thoughts on how I might free them up with out shipping it off for a CLA?

Thanks, Doug W.

I'd opt for a CLA. WW Umbach still services Contaflexes (except for tne model1 ).

Unfortunately the blades need cleaning and that's really a job for an experienced person. The innards of the lens on these cameras is a bit of a nightmare.
Sorry to bring bad news, the camera is probably worth the cost if it's in nice cosmetic condition. They are great little users.

No - the Contaflexes are wickedly complicated with many "one-way streets" in terms of repair, particularly the later models like the super.

I have a Contaflex IV that's been work in progress for almost 2 years now!
