Shoutout to the guy at the camera swap meet in Chicago last weekend

I was digging through a box of broken Polaroids when this old timer walked over and pointed out I was holding a repair manual from 1978. He showed me how to unstick a frozen shutter wheel using just lighter fluid and a toothpick. Has anyone else picked up a trick from a random stranger that totally changed how you approach a repair?

Lighter fluid trick saved me on a thrift store camera once.

Did you try that lighter fluid trick yourself yet, @barbara429?
