the curtain is in place and looks like it is ready for a shoot. I.e. one 
curtain visible. 
the wind on (frame advance) handle will not move. beyond a small arc. I 
can rewind a film no 
problem. Mirror is down ready for a shoot too and I can see through the 
viewfinder and the metering is working. Changing the shutter speed dial 
shows in the view finder. The meter reading changes when you adjust the 
appature on a lens.

I get the feeling its realy close to working but somthing has jammed. 
Grrrrr

I thought about attaching a motor wind and seeing if I could "kick start 
it"
