What was happened. This is aperture assembly, where aperture blades are jumping (1). Flexible conductor should lead the signals along the stand 3 to the executive device 2, connected to the iris diaphragm 1.
 
Console for the flexible conductor SHOULD be installed vertically in-between external and internal moving zoom-cylinder, it secures free movement of the flexible conductor loop between cylinders. The console has been inclined (Canon assembly defect) and flexible conductor  was permanently bending  at extremely low radiuses during the zooming. As result-totally broken.
