Sorry, I meant to say some other things but I couldn't edit my post. The film advance and level work fine. After I've taken a photo, I advance the film and go to press the shutter, the shutter depresses fully though it does so without clicking, which leads me to believe that the mirror is stuck in the upwards position. I can lightly touch the shutter (or bang the camera) to allow the mirror to pop down again. Hope that clears things up, thanks for your reply.

Hey all. I've just got this Pentax MG that had some troubles. I managed to unlock the mirror by lightly pressing down the shutter curtain so I can now see out the viewfinder. It takes photos now, but it seems as though something is 'sticking' as when I advance the film. I can depress the shutter but I get no mirror movement (can still see through the viewfinder). I can get it to take photos again by prompting (hitting) it, but again, something locks up. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
