Mike -- look at the camera from the front -along the top edge on the wind side. Where the body stops, you should see a small black crosspoint screw. Just to it's R. is the main sw. eccentric. It's been almost 20 yrs since I did this so I dont recall if you have to loosen the crosspoint screw or not to turn the eccentric so try turning it slightly. If it moves, then see what happens when you push the release rod. If not, loosen the cp screw & then try. If that does'nt do it, then theres a prob w/the front platecircuit bd. If needed, I can send a scan
of the exploded view. Part 0-A129 is the front circuit bd. Pentax might call it something else. There are 4 connections going to it. The bare wire 1 is the main sw. You can find the board by looking at the front from the top. its the part w/3 bent over tabs. But getting at them can be tricky.
