I've popped the top off and had a look at the slow speed escapement and I can see that there seems to be a toothed block engaging the slow gears on the end nearest the frame counter and if I release that the shutter closes. I can't work out how this is supposed to work. Any one out there any clue what might be wrong here? Thanks Ronnie
