Hi, I just fixed a sprung spring in a canonet lense (apeture blades wouldn't open) and reassembled but now the shutter won't cock/trigger and won't release. Everything looks to be in the right place, checked against another canonet and didn't find anything. Any ideas on what I could be missing?

Hi, in case this could help anyone else: I figured out a few things. 1. the lense should be on 16 when reassembling. and 2. make sure the arm sticking out of the body of the camera isn't bent.
