My camera has the squealing sound problem as Aerowoof stated. The lock-up occures while trying to oil the camera which I did with another camera a while ago but unfortunately I wasn't successful. Releaseing the shutter worked serveral times but the mirror locked-up after some tries. Is there a way to revitalize my AE-1? I don't know how to reset the camera, the mentioned article is not that complete for now. It seems to be hard opening the cam to get near the mechanism.
