Howdy Gang,
I just added an Agfa Sensor 500, the chrome one, to my collection. It's in pristine condition, even the case, so I was surprised to find the film advance / shutter cocking lever won't move. The nearest instruction manual I could find was for an LK, and it's pretty darned close, but doesn't tell me anything I don't already know. The same film advance lever is the film rewind lever when a special doohickie next to the lens is pushed in and up. So, the lever isn't frozen. I put a test roll of film in, thinking that would make a difference, but still, no cigar. Am I missing something? I put a probe in the cable release fitting, thinking the sensor shutter release is messed up, but still nothing. This camera is in such marvelous condition, it would surprise me if it's faulty, but then again, it wouldn't. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks again,
Michael
