Original problem was film advance wasn't locking up at end of frame advance. Shutter, mirror functioning ok.
Exercising the mechanism by winding till the advance locked then firing the shutter and resetting the mirror (batteries flat) seemed to be easing the problem then everything suddenly locked up.
Shutter release half down, mirror locked up, reset not completing travel and film advance jammed.
Any suggestions?
