One possible issue is:
When the shutter is released, the spill remains lowered... this might be due to:
a. Either a damaged wind-up shaft spring or to wind-up shaft spring slipping from the wind-up shaft, with the consequence that the idling gear does not back up properly; or
b. The bezel of the top idling gear is not properly positioned...
Other causes:
The bounce stopper lever does not slip off the bounce stopper.
The pin adjust plate stud is broken and sandwiched between the teeth of the gear.
The shutter curtain, especially the ribbon of the 1st curtain, is torn and coiled around the 1st curtain wind shafts.
Seriously Gooshin, probably not a hack you can do.
