Before contemplating major surgery I recommend looking under the base plate as most of the mechanism is accessible there, the problem may be something obvious such as the mirror cocking link jammed.   Mikey99 Tinkerer Username: Mikey99 Post Number: 10 Registered: 10-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Wednesday, November 03, 2010 - 07:36 pm:        I have an ST-801 which has a similar problem. The advance lever needs to be rotated all the way around til it touches the shutter button, probably 230 degrees or so. I have another ST-801 and the advance lever only needs to be rotated about 150 degrees or so to advance. What could be causing this ? Can you tell me more about the manual you mentioned ? IS it available anywhere online for download or purchase ?
