Vent: That gummed up shutter I spent 3 hours cleaning last night
I had a Pentax K1000 come in with what looked like a sticky shutter, turned out there was old oil from the mirror damper seeping onto the blades... took me forever to get it all out without damaging anything. Anyone else run into this issue with older K-mount cameras and have a better way to clean that oil off?

Man I feel your pain, that sounds like a nightmare. I once spent three hours fixing a stuck shutter only to realize I’d left the lens cap on the whole time. At least you got the oil out without trashing anything, that’s a win in my book.
