Rentavet sent me his Dad's old Voitlander Vito B for a bit of repair, and so far it is going well. It has a Protor SVS shutter that the spring on the Self Timer (6-to-8 o'clock between lens barrel and Self Timer mech) had come loose, and the blades were stuck from non-use.

A little disassembly, copius amounts of alcohol (isopropyl), and a couple runs through the ultrasonic bath got things back to almost normal. I'm not happy with the speeds, but it is very old (almost as old as me), and just getting it to work was the main request.
