Odd Shutter Behavior on a IIa

[Chris Flurry]

Hello i am new to your forum and was hoping you guys could help me with something. I recently purchased my second Retina IIa and was checking it out toady when something odd happened. The Shutter will fire fine unless you switch the flash sync switch from X to M. When the flash synch switch (the green switch on the lens) is in the M mode the shutter clicks but does not fire. Any Ideas? Does this indicate a problem? I think I'll just keep using the camera but it is odd.
Thanks in advance,
Chris Flurry

Now the shutter is stuck open at the slower shutter speeds, hmmm looks like I need to send it somewhere. Any recommendations?

Sounds like it needs a good cleaning. You can check with Essex camera in New Jersey.
