My father-in-law gave me a Pentax KS SuperII. The mirror was in the up position, and the shutter won't release. I took it to a camera shop, and they tried a new battery, and checked that the shutter leaves weren't snagged up. The film advance also will not move. Does anyone know why this might be hung up like this?
Shop rate for working on a camera here is $68. That's a lot of money for a camera that's worth about $100 in working order. So if it's a simple thing, I've got a buddy, with a little bit of experience working on Nikons, I can get to help me repair it.
Thanks.
