*delurk* Hi all, Got a question for someone who knows more about the older mechanical SLR's than I (I just started with a digital, so...) We have an old Nikon FM film SLR which has been hanging around for many years. It no longer operates correctly. It seems the film advance lever is stuck, i.e. the counter window is at "S", and I cannot move the lever past that first 30-degree position (no cranking happens). Consequently when I hit the shutter release button, the mirror flips up out of the way and stays up, and the shutter never opens. If I push on the little lever beside the mirror I can get it to flip back down manually. It's my understanding that when the advance lever correctly moves past the "stuck" mark it will wind the film as well as trip whatever needs to be tripped so that the mirror will pop up and back down again and the shutter will open. Anyway, I just wanted to get a feeler for how bad of a repair this is - whether I'm being dumb and simply need to flip something, or if it's a simple repair at a camera shop, or whether the camera is toast. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
