Lost a full day to a sticky leaf shutter on a Bronica

Spent 8 hours last Tuesday chasing a shutter that kept hanging at 1/500 on a Bronica SQ-A. Turned out the previous repair guy used grease instead of proper damping oil, and it had migrated onto the blades. Cost me a client job and about 60 bucks in cleaning fluid. Anyone else run into mystery goo from past repairs that just ruins your afternoon?

Man, that sticky leaf shutter thing sounds brutal, especially when it kills a whole client job. Getting burned by someone else's shortcut like that is the worst kind of surprise.
