Hi everyone, I have a 1961 Start SLR with a jammed advance lever and mirror in the up position. When I turn the shutter speed selector knob The mirror drops and the shutter cocks but doesn't catch and slams shut at about 1/125. The advance lever never budges. Sometimes it was catching then shutting at about 1 second but as I turned the selector a few times I found the knob was loose too and now the speed selection is screwy. Does anyone know a good repair person in North America? I'd use Oleg but I'm leery at shipping this camera across the ocean and the shipping would add up too. Thanks in advance.
