Anyone know about this camera? I picked one of these up at a flea market - mint condition, it was firing, metering, everything was good. Then I got it home and the shutter release is solid, the spring fully wound and the it won't meter I guess because the shutter release is blocked. Any ideas? I don't think I'm up to a strip down, as I just imagine getting a spring in my eye and bits of aperture embedded in the ceiling! I can't find a manual for it, even on the faithful butkus site.
