Shutter button does not trigger
The problem is actually the mirror box controlling mechanism and not the shutter it self ,strictly speaking. What is happening is that the locking /unlocking of mirror, when it is cocked, is gummed up by perished rubber bushings and rubber shock dumpers ( life span of 15-20 years max ) .
You need to get to the left hand side of the mirror box ( easy to locate once you take the m. box out ) and clean out with isopropanol ( can use benzine but is unhealthy ). Relatively easy but make a note of where the wiring goes ( shutter and l. meter ). And then also take care with the mirror box -cocking mechanism at the bottom ( draw picture of position before dismantling ).
