Kia ora!
I’ve just picked up a Pentax P30N - got given it for free because it had some shutter issues.
I took a look and the mirror was locked down - I followed some
advice on this forum and found that the rear shutter was down, so I lifted it and the mirror came back up!
Now it’s doing this interesting thing where the shutter only fires every second wind. After hunting through this forum again, I found someone who had a similar problem and got around it by winding a half and then a full each time, which is working for me too! Only every now and then, the film wind will stick one thirds, and the shutter won’t fire, and the LEDS go dark as if the camera has no power.
I’d love an idea of where to start looking to repair this! I have a repair manual and am willing to give it a shot. It seems like a power or battery issue - I have new batteries in it, right way up! Maybe some contacts need cleaning?
Thanks for all your help!
