What do you mean by "the lever broke"? This lever is part of a clockwork mechanism and usually breaks only when it is forcefully and wrongly operated. I suspect that after the camera quit you cocked the self-timer which then added to the problem, in other words the camera is now completely jammed as the shutter cycle cannot be completed as long as the self-timer prevents this. Although the Konica Auto S2 is not too difficult to repair a novice may be unable to cope with it. These pictures may help you understand how things are related, see this link for info on the innards of the camera http://feuerbacher.net/photo/frame.html ("cameras" section, article about "Konica Auto S 2") and a similar shutter http://www.pheugo.com/cameras/index.php?page=copalmxv (third picture). See for yourself if you like to step in on the matter. |
