Sorry to see no one has answered your post - perhaps it's been some time since anyone has tinkered with one of these Electros.

Sounds like something has jammed (I deserve an Oscar for that insight!)

Can you trip the camera with a cable release? A self-timer? If not, then either a mechanical obstruction or seized up parts. Failing shutter trips are more common with completely mechanical cameras, but at least the mechanical linkages were easier to observe and trace their path. Perhaps that's just me. Anything with the name 'Electro' sounds too complicated.

Hope someone can answer your query.

Good luck.

You might want to take the bottom off as well, since part of the shutter release linkage is located there. Check out the following online information:
