Mark:
Butkus was my first stop since I didnt get a manual with the camera - gone
there a lot in the past.
No - I wont force it. I do *not* want to break it! I did find a place that
repairs them, est was $114 but they wont give you a more comprehensive est
until they get the camera from you.
Im hoping that it doesnt need a repair since at this time i cant afford
anything (didnt get our bonus this summer). Im playing with the idea of taking
the bottom plate off but want to hold off on that for a few days to see if any
replies come in, in the mean time.
Im playing around with it to see if I can get it to advance in the mean time.
Nothing else that I can do for now other than taking of that bottom plate which
I really dont want to do but will if I have to.
Im sure, and Im hoping - that others with this camera had the same problem.
Some models have problems associated with them. The Argus C3(?) has sticky
shutters it seems so yeah Im hoping that this issue im having is a common one.

Depending on how important this camera is to you, its probably time for a trip
to the shop. It may need nothing more than a cleaning and lube, IF you don't
break anything by trying to force it. Yeah I wish I had a nickel for every
time I said to myself just don't force it, and then 30 secs later I was picking
up broken pieces. Not just cameras, but from experience I have learn that "get
a bigger hammer" is not very often the best method.
You got my curiosity up and I found this link which might have the manuals
available. http://www.butkus.org/chinon/mamiya.htm ; Maybe it will help and
maybe not.
Most likely a camera repairman will know about this situation, and its
something that many may know off the top of their head. Yours is probably not
the first to do this, and likely will not be the last.
