Try sending Reuben or Mike Goldberg a PM. They live in Israel & maybe can recommend a local repairman. But don't blame God He didn't break it.

You actually managed to break a FM2n? Impressive.

I once had this with my FM that I've dropped. so, the film advance lever is totally loose but you can't release the shutter?

try pressing the button on the bottom side, that's used to release the shutter with a motordrive (not the rewind button). this did the trick for me, and I could keep on shooting on a wonderful event :angel:

Why is this camera so expensive? Its the same price as the Nikon F3 on KEH!

Just press all of them

I found just one - the rewind.

It is avery nice one,and I liked it better then the f3(which I had)

 

[MarkoKovacevic]

Maybe there is another button under the motor drive cover?
