My experience with a Super Program shutter was that
those blades are A LOT sturdier than they look. About
a year ago, a friend brought me a jammed camera and
asked me to do what I could. The shutter blades were
off the rails and superposed. I told him that probably
the shutter was destroyed, but I could try to fix it
since apparently things couldn't be worse. After some
unsuccesful attempts with a plastic tool, I put them
back in position with my (clean) bare fingers and
cleaned the blades with alcohol. To my surprise, it
works OK to this day! I think that as long as the
blades doesn't have a permanent bent, the shutter will work.
