There is an arm with a hairspring on it that catches a notch in the mainspring mechanism that holds the shutter until you press the release. I have seen Prontor shutters with that hairspring broken, I have also seen them forced and the levers bent in that area. Its a bit of a job but fixable if you carefully bend the levers back and reshape them if necessary, and/or have some spare hairsprings around from various junk cameras.
