I have an Asahi Pentax SP1000, and its film advance lever is locked. I did have it working breifly, but when it worked, the mirror would not come back down. With a little prodding, the mirror returned to the normal position, but the film advance lever was locked again. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Did the shutter fire at anytime, before, during or after prodding the mirror?
