agfa/ansco viking 7.7

[preforged]

I hope I am in the correct forum.I recently aquired the agfa viking 7.7 folder.It is in magnificent shape.The only flaw is the shutter is stuck.I am not familiar with this camera,and am looking for advice to get to the shutter blades safely for cleaning.Please advise.Thank you.

What shutter does it have? There might be a name like Pronto or Prontor, something like that, on the shutter housing.

Victor,
I have only the following information about the lens: ANASTIGMAT,it has a leaf shutter.I have found out the model number of the camera which is a pd16 readyset 1957 vintage

I wasn't thinking: a readyset shutter operates in one action, both cocking and releasing with the same lever movement. This may help: http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/html/karatupdate.html. It sounds like lighter fuel to the rescue again.
