Canonet QL17 problem...

[Carterofmars]

[FONT=arial,sans-serif]I have a QL17 that doesn't shutter release after I cock the lever. I press the shutter release all the way down but nothing. I noticed also that the self timer is stuck all the way to the right. where if you pressed the shutter release it should start winding down but doesn't move. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance...[/FONT]

Maybe that the aperture ring is in the "A" position, because it doesn't fire if you are out of the range with your selected shutter speed. This could be the first problem if it is not this then am sorry i can't help you.
