Hi, Gang. I have a Pentax MX in great physical conditon -- except that it can't be wound. Winding mechanism is stuck. It appears that the shutter is cocked, judging by orange in the tiny window next to the shutter release button. Any quick fixes without total disassembly? (I've taken off the bottom cover and "played" with the gears. No luck). Thanks.
