Recently acquired AT-1 has the typical stuck advance lever problem. Removed bottom cover, cut away some of plastic cover, cleaned coil and anvil contacts...did not help. Anvil can be released manually, shutter will fire and advance will recock and shutter button will depress but not fire the shutter even though anvil will be pushed into the coil....any thoughts.

Either the shutter contacts or release solenoid needs cleaning, or maybe a capacitor is bad.
