Taking apart your camera is the best way to ruin it - so it's probably best not to if you have the delicate touch of a dump truck reversing without wheels.
Thanks for the tip. You should add a 'buy me a coffee' button/link to such a concise & useful video. Quick way to chuck a couple bucks your way for the help.
00:15 !!!! I thought my camera (Petri MF1) was broken and i didn't realize you have to push the little cloth to the left!! After doing that i heard a clicking noise and everything was working again, shutter, lever, everything! So after this i checked the manual and i found out that every time you want to replace the film you need to depress a little RELEASE KNOB located on the bottom of the camera body. When that knob is pressed, it will block everything (lever, shutter etc) in order for you to rewind the film and pull it out. This is probably a problem i would not have faced if i had some film inside, but i had none and i was just trying blank to check if everything was working. If you have no film on and the lever is stuck and the shutter doesn't click, try to open the camera and push this cloth towards the left, and check if the knob is up or down.
Now My H2 is playing up. The little cog is not turning the big cog and the swinging cam seems to be stuck on the wrong side of the large cog raised pin.
Mine has similar issues. The shutter stuck if I don't immediately shoot after advancing the film, do you have any idea what should I do? Your answer would be helpful
I couldn't say why in your exact case, it sounds strange to me. The only advice I can give is to do all the steps in these 3 videos I have to help the shutter move more smoothly.
I just came into posession of an S1a, the shutter on mine will open but not close again unless i turn the shutter speed back up to above the X, could it just need some oil?
I'm not quite sure what your problem is without having the camera in my hands, but try look at my other 2 videos (and I recommend looking at other peoples and the service manual for better perspective) for a bit more disassembly and you may work it out. Just remember to not be frustrated, take your time and it will eventually become clear.
@@RaggiBoy1 yes! I saw your videos and the y help me understand a little bit more but i coundn’t make the shutter works. It’s blocked, it doesn’t press. I’ll continue trying! Thanks for all your help!!
That definitely happens with old, sticky oil. Following all my videos on this camera should help. But there may be more parts needing oil in your camera than I covered. There is a service manual that may help, good luck.
My S3 had the same problem. I fixed it by this method - thank you.

I believe it’s exactly the same as the SV, and the lever also needed to have some grunge scraped. Good as new!
Oh man! Wish I had seen this video before I sold mine because of that issue 😵💫😭
Thank you! I've just bought an S1a via eBay with the same problem. Solved in 5 minutes. Brilliant!!!
!!!
Wow, thank you! This was a super-quick fix for a significant problem with my camera!
this solution has worked beautifully to fix mine. thank you
Very helpful. Fixed my problem.

You're welcome
Now My H2 is playing up. The little cog is not turning the big cog and the swinging cam seems to be stuck on the wrong side of the large cog raised pin.
Can I ask what kind of oil you used? I have the same exact camera with the same exact issue
I used a basic '3 in 1' household oil. Probably should use watch oil though.
Hi ragnar! The shutter bottom of my Cam is stuckked

Couldn't say for sure. Try work out which stage it gets stuck and lubricate the parts that don't finish moving first
Hello, may i know what oil did you use on the video? Thanks!
I would use sewing machine or clock oil
Hi! Your video was really helpful and now i Can see the problem but my shutter bottom stock blocked. Have any idea? Thanks!!

Thanks for the video,my camera shutter will stuck when the air is cold...
