I have a all black Nikkormat EL camera that is now malfunctioning.

The shutter release button won't depress. I can move the film advance lever over to the left, but it doesn't advance, the shutter release button is stuck, and it seems the timer is stuck as well. Additionally, the rewind button on the bottom appears to be in rewind position as the advance spool moves in both directions. Any ideas on how to fix this camera? I've taken beautiful pictures with it in the past and have seen no indication of trouble until this issue popped up (while loading film during a road trip).

Thanks for any and all help.

Dustin
