The levers in the bottom get extra greasy. They don't snap back fast enough
to lock the wind mechanism after you wind the shutter, so you start to wind
on before you fire the shutter. "Good" news is the lever assembly that gets
greasy is stamped shut at the factory. You can drill the stamping out with
a 7/64" drill, disassemble, degrease and rebuild.

stuck in the down position, which I'm sure is part of the problem. Short of
sending this body to the bone yard or in for a CLA, does anyone have any
ideas that might allow me to cock the shutter/release the rewind button. BB

"overwound". Check the archives, I posted this same question a few months
ago. Apparently it's easy to release after removing the bottom cover, but it
will need a CLA or it will keep happening. Mine's going to John H. as soon
as funds are available.
