I've been watching your channel for a bit....liking the insights and the repair videos. Out of curiosity...is the film throw supposed to self return? I've got one of the SP1000 where I have to return the throw manually after advancing.
@RompingBronco thanks for the follow up, I'll check some of your videos for tips on opening it up. This one I've mentioned is a back up, so little to lose by trying.
First haha! Do you know how to stop buying so many film cameras, a month ago I had 3 now I have 13 xD. But Im struggling to figure out this AE-1 issue I have tore the whole thing apart and for some reason the shutter does not release and I have to pull the curtain to be able to cock the shutter again. Thank You!

Thanks for reaching out! The lever should return, there may be a dent on the top plate or some other physical obstruction from preventing it

I will have to try your light meter repair as mine does not work so I use a Minolta hand held light meter I got given to me
I’ve got a stuck advanced lever on my Asahi Pentax S. But, I’m in the UK….
Is there an easy solution to the drooping self timer lever? Seems pretty common on cheap spotmatics. Thanks.
Yes don't buy Cheap

I am not the one to ask unfortunately 😅 I have a disease and I keep thinking the cure is more cameras (it’s not) which curtain is it?
