I put a good amount of really old Kodak VPS 220 from 1990 through my camera and than put an old roll of Fuji NHG 220 in and i guess the VPS spool was a tad smaller than the NHG so it rolled on the outside of the take up spool and got messed up as well as didnt allow my shutter to be fired. But now even with a new roll and correct spools the camera winds fine but the shutter is jammed. Wondering if anyone else has ever had a similar problem?

Thanks. Robert
 
Does the counter advance/reset? The camera will transport, but not fire while the counter is at the leader/trailer. The most common and generic reason would be the counter reset tab (in the seal fold under the wind lever) being stuck in the decaying neoprene seal.

I literally just got it to work. I have no idea what happened but I put a roll in it and it was stuck and opened it and played with the shutter lock back and forth and it fired... I cant see how that function would get stuck but maybe it did. I barely ever use the lock so maybe it got stuck the one time I did.

Thanks a lot sevo!
