Pentax K1000 SE shutter issues...

[Corto]

Ok so I dusted off my old K and shot a test roll thru it but only 9 out of 24 exposed....Perfectly I might add.....

problem is I can not duplicate this with no film in the camera, everything seems to fire just fine at all speeds.

im at a loss, what gives?

Maybe after sitting for so long the shutter just needed some exercising to start working properly? Are the nine good shots near the end of the roll? Some of my older cameras need a few clicks to get them going again if they sit for a few months without use.

I thought so too but they are totally in random order.
