Noooooooo. You never oil a shutter because it accumulates crud from the residue. You clean shutters with naptha because it leaves minimal residue.

Hi!

     Before sending off my Commercial-Congo 210mm/4.5 in Copal #3
shutter to Grimes, Inc., I had the thought: they are going to fix it,
why not shoot some WD-40 in it?  It will probably cost north of $200 anyway.

     I'm a wise fool!   It worked.  The slow speeds are now working and
the 2 bills are still in my pocket.

      To the wise: don't try this!

       I think all the chatter on the frig lite helped!  Thanks everyone!

                                                   Best. Rich
