Not exactly sure of the year (appears to be early to mid-1960s), but I have a pretty little Tenax in excellent cosmetic condition, but with some major problems, I think.

Does advance okay, and shutter releases okay---but, about 25% of the time, shutter releases WHILE advancing, all by itself. Also, my F-stop ring is frozen, shutter speed is frozen---nothing between the camera body and the rubber hood can be adjusted.

I see no signs of corrosion or gunk, inside or out. And I don't want to use brute force, although it's coming to that. Any ideas? Danke!
