I think cleaning Compound shutters is likely to be a more effective way of
restoring them than standing them in a jar full of petrol vapour.   I had a
Compound shutter on an oversize Xenar and it was surprisingly reliable; the
timing of the speeds depends on airflow and a bit of dirt in the wrong place
would need to be removed carefully by an experienced technician.
Is it cold on Xmas Day where you are, Ole?  It's 10.4*Celcius in London, dry
and cloudy-bright.  Pity about the hangover!
