I have a nice AE1 but recently a friend used it with a Cable Release and I have a nasty feeling he pressed the CR too hard and jammed the pin in the shutter button.
Now whenever it is wound on, the shutter fires as the wind lever is rotated.

I have seen plenty of info on the problems with the magnetic shutter device in the base of the camera but I think this problem is purely mechanical.

Anyone know how this could be fixed or how to dismantle the shutter button...?
