Hey, guys, I got today this lovely camera but the shutter is stuck. Does anyone have experience repairing this? Should it even be attempted? I wonder if just a spring is out of place or if I need spare parts to try, I don't have any spares obviously....

It'll be a simple guillotine shutter. It looks like a spring is missing. Probably very similar to a box brownie if thats any help.

Its not a common camera, particularly in red. In fact fairly rare. Unfortunately that doesn't make it valuable. But I reckon it's worth repairing if you intend to put a roll of 620 film through it.
