Shutter will trip four or five times in a row with shutter button, and then nothing. Trip the shutter manually at first curtain magnet, fire off another half-dozen or so with shutter button, then nothing.

I guess I could just cut a hole in the bottom plate..

It appears that the flex ground screw (near first curtain magnet) was loose. Tightened screw, and has fired consistantly since.

P.S.:

Glenn:

I tried to respond to your most recent email (without attachments, only a few lines of text) with, again, the same result: bounced back to sender.
