Hi all,

I recently purchased a very nice Olympus Trip 35. Everything on it is perfect except for the aperture release mechanism. The part I've circled in the included image gets stuck. I push it down firmly and it gets unstuck but overnight it freezes again. Before I destroy the camera by removing the wrong parts, is there anything I can do? Does the lens have to come out for a better look?

If you click on the blog links on this website http://www.olympus-trip.co.uk/ and on that page click on the aperture ring links there are some pictures of Trip 35 innards. Hope this helps.
