I am finally thinking about a few repair/rehab projects, and have brought out the pieces of my trusty Argus C-3 Standard. It appears to be a late-50s version. Optics are good, the half-silver mirror needs replaced, and the thing generally cleaned.

What sort of lubricant is suggested for the shutter after cleaning? I know that some things are very sensitive and require a particular grade of watchmaker oil to remain within speed tolerances. Any other tips as well?
