Sweet! You HAVE to love thrift store finds. I think I've accumulated three of those little jewels, but they all have the same problem. Minty though they appear to be, the aperture doesn't act snappy when you push the rear pin in and release.. It is a relatively easy fix, but I can't find the article online at the moment. I believe I have it printed out and saved (somewhere). If memory serves, it is backing off (slightly) three screws that does the trick. If I find the article I'll pass it along. Hopefully yours doesn't need the fix.
