Fenix Ib, from Poland, unrepairable

The Fenix Ib looks like a nice camera. It was made in Poland around 1952-54.
 
It is a manual camera with a 45mm/f2.8 standard fixed lens. There are shutter speeds from 1/10 to 1/250s plus B.

I cleaned the shutter and the camera was working, but after less than a dozen clicks the cord that arms the shutter was broken, it is a common problem for this camera.
I opened the camera, but the repair looks complicated, I am not going to restore its operation.

You can see the broken cord that links the advance lever with the shutter in the lens
