No, not a good idea to disassemble someone else's things.  Unless you're a
professional and a
stranger  :-)
The overlapping plates (still don't know a name for them) was fairly obvious but I had
to take
the lens ring off to actually know how they were moved in the front.  If I were
compelled enough
I might take the whole thing apart to see the back but I'm pretty sure of the anchored
ends
because I already got the correct movement like it is.  Just need to reposition some
some to get
a better pivot point on the back.

It's a great thing to simply put in a clock type and go.  You've been missing out.  I
only used
it for this to open and close the iris for loopability.  Wasn't needed.
Good luck on yours, and glad you liked mine.

Bob
