Bob, I assume the 'Obturator Wheel' is the shutter. This disintegration is apparently a common problem with Baby shutters, although mine is fine. You can get replacement shutters (a lot cheaper than getting them made here in the USA), which are machined from brass and will last forever, from Wharton Parfitt or Buckingham Films in the UK.
