[OM] OM2-SP Troubleshooting

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I can't find anything
specific to it in the archives.

I've just picked up a cheap OM2-SP, second hand, but physically in good
condition.  Clean case,  unopened screws and a standard Zuiko 50mm lens.

Anyway, there is a problem, and that problem seems to be a sticky shutter.
In any of the modes, with an electronic shutter, it appears that when a
shot is taken, the mirror goes up and the shutter opens,  but will not
retreat without a manual reset by going to B, and back into the normal
shutter modes.  The meter itself seems fine, and having compared the
mechanical 60th shutter speed to my OM-1, I'm satisfied that that works. 

All suggestions welcome! :)

thanks in advance.
