Thank you, this video was very timely for me. I was wrestling with a wierd shutter problem on a Zorki 3, where it would work a few times, then jam. I tried your upside down trick, and the shutter worked flawlessly. When I turned it back right side up, the shuitter jammed again. I heard something loose inside the camera when I turned it over. I had incorrectly placed the shutter lever spring on the shutter lever, so instead of holding the lever in place, it caused the lever to pop up and jam the mechanism when the shutter was released. I put the spring on properly and the camera now works fine. Thanks for the tip!

It's nice to see that the solution for one problem can open the door to solutions to other problems, just by pointing to a general direction :)
Very successful repair. This pin will never break again 👍
Interesting detail. Will take note of it.
