I happen to own a Rolleicord Vb, which has had some sort of a sticky
shutter as well. Actually it would only fire on "B" position. And it
would hesitate even then.
With the help of some repair manuals from (kind) rollei users I
openned carefully the front panel and used some lighter fluid on the
shutter.
I was shocked to see the reaction of the shutter parts to that liquid.
Now it is easier to cock the shutter and it snaps freely at all speeds.
Needless to say, that only helps if the shutter is a bit dusty or
sticky. (but again there´s no way to know before you open and try)
only my experience.
hope it helps

Listers,
I was exercising my 'cord V last night, checking the slow speeds and
the self-timer, and the shutter stuck, totally. The shutter cocking
arm moves, quite freely, but the shutter is stuck closed, and the
self-timer switch is also stuck.
Any thoughts or suggestions, before I put it aside to send off for
repair, as soon as I can afford it?
Ken
