Well its a classic to me!. Problem is its the first camera I ever owned, I let my son use it and he has broken it, It won't wind on and I cant trigger the curtain on it, I have had the bottom of ( its partially in bits right now) and tried to trip it via the solenoid that operates the shutter, the mirror will trip but nothing else will work, any ideas peeps ?

Sounds like a dropped one, Make sure all wiring is intact, if not there is the problem. If not fixable check for a used one on net or KEh etc. Usually they go for a low price. does any one have a print for this?

I don't want to buy another one, I want to fix this one, it has a lot of sentimental value.

I have a manual but the scan is naff and hardly readable.
