Keith, you probably don't recognise the lens in pieces above, but it's the Nikkor-S 5cm f1.4 that came on your BD S2
Works like a charm now

The best camera is one that still works!

Did you pull it apart for the hell of it or was there a reason?

As already noted, it's only when you get to the last couple that it gets a bit tricky.

It's definitely age related also .... I watch my son often, working on intricate parts from his remote control cars without the need for glasses in average to poor light and not battling the five thumbs that I seem to have grown on each hand!

One of the aperture blades was out of position, and would start to buckle when stopped down to f11 - f16

An aperture I never go near ... not surprising I never noticed it.
I'm a little surprised that Pete Smith never noticed it because I did ask him to check the lens when he CLA'd the body!

wayno, i only wish my lens had looked like that one on that webpage.
flat, and orderly, and accessible.
12 blades all curved up and popping out of their holes, like building a 3-d half globe in a deep trough,
i have no idea how it all got in there and now works.

For your next fix of masochistic punishment, dismantle the shutter on a Werra. It's getting the capping shutter back together... then realising that you have to turn it upside down to get it on the rest of the mechanism without that dropping bits everywhere... then trying to get the activation ring properly seated and keep it there while you put the lid on... Each and every step can lead to tears of frustration and fist marks in walls!
Seriously, well done - you have my respect!
