Ok, guys,
I had this QL17 arriving from an auction site. Naturally, its shutter is stuck, and the self timer too. Before I claim a partial or total refund, I need to know if this is an easy fix or not.
So:
I just spent 2 hours sifting thru Canonet shutter-related posts, but couldn´t find a clue to what the issue is with stuck shutter vs self timers and how to fix it. All I found was "- search the forum" and someone that finally managed to find some old post by greyhoundman about this - but no link to the post itself.
Please, have mercy - tell me? What´s the deal, how can I fix it? Or..how do I generally fix a shutter on a QL17 (not GIII)? How do I know it´s a self-timer-inflicted issue?
Yes, I know - disassemble the rear element etc etc - but this self timer thing, where´s the solution/fix?
Pretty please?
Cheers /Richard
