Just got an Oly SP that seems to be in pretty good shape except for the self-timer. After cocking the shutter and self-timer lever, then pressing the shutter button, the timer can be heard to be timing out, but won't release the shutter. If I just barely touch the self-timer lever, the shutter will trip. I have no repair experience with these and can't find any source for repair manuals. Could this just be a weak spring? Anybody run across this before? Thanks for any input...
