Alright, thanks. I was pretty much figuring as much, but hoping I was wrong. Would you happen to know what problem, exactly?
Would it be what was discussed in
this thread? When I first read that, the way its worded I thought it was different (it sounded like the shutter
could have been released between winds in that case, but didn't have to be, whereas in my case the shutter
won't release - the release button does nothing). After reading again, though, it's unclear to me which is the case.
I do know that the first curtain on the shutter mechanism is being raised when the wind lever is wound, without fail. Something just seems to be failing to catch to allow the shutter release to be readied to fire.
