I just rang the seller. They said that it worked when they had it. I
suppose it could have got knocked around a bit during shipping. Anyway,
it's going back for a refund.
Thanks again to all for your advice.

Subject: [OM] Re: Olympus Ace shutter problem/repair
A very defective shutter, which the seller should have pointed out. .
VERY odd that a few blades would move, and one that doesn't. Since all
the blades are supposed to have pins engaged with a ring which opens all
the blades in unison, sounds like a pin (riveted to
blade) may be broken off. This would call for a good/new blade (of
course, not available). Leaf shutters are tons-of-fun, especially if
you have to get down to the blades themselves. For the novice, just
removing the cover plate will disengage springs or send parts flying.
If possible, get your money back.
