the camera is a Super Ricohflex with a Rikon shutter from 10 to 200. the level is at the 6 a'clock position.
the shutter speed ring turns smoothly. when the level is pushed up, a tiny click is can be heard, but I'm not sure if the shutter is cocked. when the level is pushed the other way, another tiny click, but the shutter doesn't fire.
I don't think the shutter is been cocked, as the cocking tab doesn't seems to be moving far enough.
What could be the problem? Is it fixable by an amature?
Thanks for any advice in advance.
