Hi everyone, I'm in need of a little help here. I have an Olympus OM-2N that I was about to take out shooting for the first time, and when testing everything I found that the rewind release is jammed. I'm referring to the little round switch to the left of the lens with the "R" next to it that one would need to turn counterclockwise before rewinding the film. I couldn't get this thing to budge at all, finally *gently* grabbed it with pliers and was able to turn it, and it released the film sprocket as intended.

It's still stuck fast, though, and I really wanted to use this camera. Does anyone know how to fix this? Everything else on the camera works fine, and yes, it has brand new batteries.

Thanks!
