Hello everyone! I have a working X-700 with problem with the shutter curtain. It seems upon triggering the shutter release the 2nd curtain hangs up more than half way. I just wonder if it is a easy fix? If not it will have to be another self queen I guess.. Thanks!!

Repair manual is at https://learncamerarepair.com/downloads/pdf/minolta-x700-service-manual.pdf. It's a confusing manual but may help.

Thanks! I did looked through that parts manual before. I was hoping for a better way. I decided to sell off this camera since its not really worth the time and value
