Hello and greetings from London.
I have noticed your amazing imput across most of the 6x7 forums regarding the MLU/ Shutter/ advance lever seizure, and the reset procedures etc with great interest.
I too am experiencing this problem.
She dry fires without hindrance... but randomly seizes mid roll, mirror halfway up, advance lever siezed...no shutter???
The only remedy to this is to remove the battery, the lens..then manually release the mirror. (My reset button followed with shutter press doesn't work) then after reinstall of battery and lens...bingo!!! We dry fire again with no issues. Til I insert a next roll anyway, goddammit!!!!
So I ask... if I am to either get this repaired..or even follow the procedure of cleaning the magnet/contacts etc...would this just be a temp fix til more p67 problems arise down the line?
A tall ask im sure...so apologies, only i am just discovering that maybe the 6x7 is too unreliable moving forward and i seriously consider cutting my loses at this point?? Or is it possible a CLA could breathe some extra undaunted years into her..
Again apologies for my ramblings... just so desperate to get this beast working...reliably.
Warm regards
J
