Thanks for the advice all. I think I'll lay off the hammer for a few more days yet. I'll try the freezer method, then if that doesn't work I think I'll also try heating it overnight under and incandescent lamp. I might also try removing the whole lens/front plate assembly from the body to see if I can access the shutter from the rear. I think I need to remove the front plate anyway to fix the wire from the battery compartment, which is corroded. Ultimately, if it doesn't want to be fixed then I'll have probably made sure it's properly broken in finding out. I'll post an update either way, wish me luck. Michael |
