A few weeks ago I 'won' a black QL17 GIII, which arrived damaged, although nothing was mentioned in the auction. The shutter was stuck and the film could be advanced indefinitely. I cleaned the shutter and then started looking in the archives for suggestions. One of them took me to Rick Oleson's article dealing with exactly this problem. A few minutes later the camera was up and running.

The Canonet QL17 GIII in black is quite rare and mine is now working thanks to Rick.

regards
Michael
