OK, I got the lens/shutter assembly off the camera.
I'll note the Vito has a catastrophe of mechanics to make the shutter fire. A spring-loaded bar (not a button) presses on like three other things to change the direction of the force needed to trip the shutter release... and it all has to fold up... that's going to be a nightmare to sort...
There are a few shims on either side of the mounting plate, which seems a bit weird, but OK.
When I got the shutter off, it was pretty obvious the shutter actuation lever was inside the shutter frame (which is never good). Since the shutter dial was badly bent, I was able to poke inside with a tiny screwdriver and pull it out the way it is meant to look. That's good. When I did that, the shutter fired and unjammed itself. That's even better... in the photo below, you can see how the end of the lever is chewed up, I suspect from a folding-up accident...
Now I have a shutter with all of its speeds... except that 1 s is between 4-10 s, and you don't get to 1 s until between 1/5 and 1/10... OK, that's less good...
It needs to come apart, if for no other reason than to clean it a bit and bend that ring back into shape.
So how do you take apart a Compur-Rapid from probably 1946?
Google says you undo the screws under the Kodak nameplate... oh, wait... not a Kodak
No, you undo the three tiny screws around the front element... which also are not here...
Oh, no, you use a "friction instrument" on the front of the lens... OK, tried using a rubber stopper tool on the lens nameplate... no joy
I'm half-tempted to take a pair of channel locks to the focusing ring (OK, not really...)
In every case I've found online, getting the front element off (or the nameplate for the Kodaks) means access to screw-like things that unhook everything else, but I can't find anything like that here.
The only thing is a tiny little rectangular hole in the side of the plastic on the focusing barrel (barely visible here where 5.6 is marked), but that doesn't seem like anything connected to getting that off...
Any ideas?
