It started with a torn film at my wife's friend's place, which I successfully recovered using my wife's winter coat as my light-tight bag, and in spite of my wife's encouraging demands to just give up and join the party. No sooner had I triumphantly emerged film in hand, my wife asked for her coat back and without a thought I yanked it off the bed in the darkened room I was using, remembering as I did that the camera was still nestled within the comfortable folds of the jacket.
Close inspection revealed the following:
1. "B" leaves the shutter blades open for about 2 seconds now (not indefinitely). But I'm not sure if this was an existing issue.
2. The over-lapping aperture blades are out of sequence. each blade over-laps the previous and is over-lapped by the next blade EXCEPT 2, one of which is over-lapped on both sides and the other isn't on either. Again, I'm not sure if this is by design.

Reciprocity Failure
provided the two "out of sequence" are right next to each other, then the aperture blades are as you described on mine.
My "B" however, works as it should - indefintely for the duration of the shutter depression.

The 3rd and 5th blades on my TE are on top of the others, looking from the front and counting clockwise.
B closes the shutter when I release the button.
I once threw my TE at least 10 meters and it landed on concrete when I ran to catch a bus and stumbled, there is a nice dent in the top plate from that. Another 2 Meter fall from a shelf left a dent in the floor, but none in the camera
The meter is totaly off, but that can be due to the > 10 year old battery.

The blades are next to each-other. What a relief! Thanks!
As for "B", I haven't had a need to use it in the past. So I'm good! Yeah!!!
However, I'm sure I could still use this opportunity to finagle another camera.
