   I would investigate repairing it. If too expensive you might try it yourself. I have not had a chance to see if there are any repair books on line.
   Later, a google search got some hits.
   Not sure if this is the same shutter:

Not sure what is here:

   May be similar:

  Some interesting notes:
<https://manualzz.com/doc/1030331/mamiya-c330f-professional-repair-manual>
   Lots of pictures, no PDF but has printer friendly pages.
<https://pheugo.com/cameras/index.php?page=seikosha>

   There is more. The search string I used was
seikosha s repair manual

   What you need:
   A set of jeweler's screwdrivers. Cheap ones will do.
   Its helpful to have a couple of DuMont style non-magnetic tweezers but even regular make up tweezers will do.
   I have recently been using Caig Labs Deoxit 5, an electronic contact cleaner as a lubricant. Seems to work. I apply it with a small artist's brush.
   A magnifying glass, a jeweler's loup is good. You can get reading glasses at the 99c store for 99c. These are often very expensive ones marked down.
   It helps to have some specialized tools but I am not sure which ones, if any, you need. If a lever has been pushed out of place you will see it pretty quickly. Work in a shallow box and make sure the corners and edges don't have holes. This will prevent losing screws and small parts. I use old medicine bottles for parts, also small freezer bags work well. A close visual inspection will probably find the trouble. Most shutters are not very complex. Don't get fatigued and have a good strong light to work with.
   Good luck and report what you find. Since its broken you really can't break it further. Have a shot at it.
