With the lens on the camera mechanism has to push the lever to close the diaphragm on the lens, the extra effort makes it fails more often. It looks like a matter of cleaning and lubbing. Perhaps this camera got wet inside. > So. What's the do and don't? How do I open the thing? And what do I do after > opening it? (Besides scratching myself in my forehead).

It's probably best if you assume that it will take many hours over several days or months. Download the repair manual from the web. If you sell it on Ebay describe its condition accurately, I gess you'll get around 25 Euros for the body, more if you sell it with the lens, which lens does it have? Whatever you do, never try to clean the focusing screen, don't ask me how I know this.
