I recently started using my argus. When I cocked the shutter, something went wrong, and now I can't cock it no more. It's lame. I can only move the lever up and down when I press down the shutter release. Can I fix this? I bet it's some spring in there.

TIA

is the cocking loose--no tension. If so, it is possible that the copper connecting ribbon is broken. This is common and I sure don't know where you would be the part.
