Minolta X-570

I have a Minolta X-570 that is starting to act funny.

1)The gearing squeeks and drags when advancing the film.

2)In cold and/or humid conditions (I haven't been able to seperate the
two), it must be turned off and then on between pictures. Otherwise,
it will refuse to meter the exposure and the shutter will not operate.

The camera was cleaned and serviced about a year ago.

Before sending it in for again, is there something I can do? I
wouldn't want to get screw anything up.

If your X-570 is shooting craps, picking up a second body might be cheaper
than having it repaired. You can find one in excellent condition on eBay
with a Buy it Now price of less than $100.00. The X-570 is a joy to use.
