I have a Nikon FG 35mm camera- it had been working perfectly until a few weeks ago. The film advance lever would get stuck and not return to its original position after about the 13th or 14th frame (yes, I'm using 24 frame rolls). I had been able to wiggle it to get it to go back but now it is stuck up. I've tried putting it on m90 and bulb but it doesn't seem to be a problem with the shutter. Anyone else experience this or have any help with the problem?

have you removed the film yet?
I once didn't load the film properly, took about 5 shots and it wouldn't wind-on anymore (on a much older rangefinder). So, if you haven't already tried, remove the film and play with the FG a bit
