I just got my late grandfather's Canon 7 with a really nice 2.0/50mm Summicron lens on it. It's largely in very good cosmetic shape but the shutter won't fire and the self-timer appears to be jammed. Is there a known or possible solution to unsticking these or is it just time for a repair shop? The self-timer won't budge at all, and the shutter button depresses (when set to "A"), but nothing happens. The lock appears to work (set to red dot). When I put the camera in rewing mode ("R") the shutter curtains return to rest and seem quite snappy. But the shutter itself is a no-go.
Help very much appreciated! I have no money right now for repairs so it may end up on a shelf for awhile if it has to go to a shop. If anyone knows of a decent site on diy working on one of these, I'd be happy to go that route, too. Google is not finding one.
Cheers,
Karl
