Interesting, and soon rectified by you. I recently acquired a Reflex III, which amazingly works very well, despite standing unused for a long time. It came from a local seller on Facebook, who also has another Reflex III, but with a Rodenstock lens. When I looked at it, the mirror didn't always return when I cocked the shutter, maybe one in five times. I mentioned it to my local repairer, and he warned that these are very complicated cameras, which need regular use.
I just cleaned the blades on a prontor-sv, it was as if some one had squirted an oil can in the lens! It was even over the inside face of the lens. Just as you mentioned in one of your videos,when it was warm it fired but cold it was solid! I think it must have been the aperture blades they had problems with as they were very oily.
