Thanks Clint, that is just what I meant - whirr whirr click click, but the
click is from the clutch mechanism, not the shutter release. I took a look
inside - it's not the mechanical interlock that is the problem. But the
'feel' of the 'reluctance' is very consistent with rubber.
A visit to the shop is called for.

Subject: Re: [OM] Motor Drive 1 problem - any ideas?
The pin may move or not, depending on where the mechanism is in it's cycle.
Do you mean that the motor runs, but it doesn't trip the shutter? Just like
the winders, there's a rubber ring inside the MD-1 that "goes bad" and has
to be replaced.
