After using my fathers ae-1 I decided to purchase my own ae-1 program off of ebay. While I was playing around with it for the first time everything seemed fine, it was firing and advancing perfectly. But out of nowhere it seemed to jam, when I removed the lens I found that the mirror was stuck in the up position, and that the stop-down lever is stuck to the left. Ive searched far and wide and cannot find a fix for this, it has a brand new battery so that isn't the problem. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
