The main issues are that the film wind-on is very stiff; and sometimes when the shutter release is fully depressed the shutter does not fire until I release pressure on the shutter button (especially at 1/200 and 1/500.) I have never repaired a camera before but have restored classic cars so I'm fairly mechanically minded. Do I need any special tools and whatb cleaning fluid/fresh lubricant will I need to use ? All advice gratefully received.....
