Hello everybody,
I'm having a problem with the advance lever on my FR1 after disassembling it a while ago.
At first I thought it was because of the way I reassembled the shutter button and lever but even without them in place, I cannot turn the head of the axis with pliers.
It might not be reassembled correctly anyway because I cannot seem to get the exposure check button to release by pushing the lever forward.
I did some more advanced disassembling but I don't think I touched anything relative to the advance lever mechanism.

The release button doesn't help either.

I hope I'll have it repaired before holidays!
Thank you everyone!
