Jason’s workshops notes:

On arrival the aperture blades were sticking and as it was tested stuck permanently. This is a common challenge with Trips that have been store for many years. Initially they appear to work fine but once the camera has been worked a bit, all the dirt, dust and any grease / oil in the camera start to clog up. Anyway… it’s had a lovely service and works like new again.
