Just got a hold of my grandfather's Bolsey Model B from storage, it's in good shape, viewfinder/rangefinder are clear and sharp, but the shutter is stuck open. Wondering if it would be a simple enough repair/lubrication to try on my own, or whether it's even worth the trouble. It looks tempting to try out, and my daughter would get a kick out of using it, too.

Just trying to figure out the best way to open it up (from front or from inside or both?) without trashing it, if possible. Anyone worked inside these things? Any suggestions appreciated, no offense taken if you think it's ridiculous to pursue.
