A few new threads on old Spotmatics encouraged me to post this.

After years of faultless use, the shutter on my Spotmatic has jammed. The
shutter will not trip and the film will not wind on.

I gather this is not uncommon with Spotmatics.

Anyone got a quick do-it-yourself fix? Most repair shops will charge around
$120 for next to nothing these days.

Thanks for help Cheers

If the shutter has jammed with the curtains open, you can close them by
VERY GENTLY pushing one or both curtains to the end of their run.

Worked for me a couple of times in the past.
