I have an MX-EVS with Xenar I bought 6 months ago. It came with a ton of
accessories (worth the price alone.)
The slow speeds were sticking and it obviously needed a CLA, so I spent $325
having Krikor Maralian overhaul the thing.

It came back looking and working great! The self-timer worked fine at that
point.
After I put a few rolls through it, to make sure everything was fixed, the
camera sat untouched for a couple months.
A couple weeks ago I tried using the self-timer and it was getting stuck
part way through the cycle. I can flick the switch and it will continue,
however, it may or may not make it to the end of the cycle. Sometimes I
have to flick it several times to get it to continue. The shutter still
works fine.
I called Krikor and he assured me that letting the camera sit unused for
even a few weeks will cause this. He said I should be cyling the self-timer
and shutter every one or two weeks.
OK, makes sense, but no matter how many times I cycle the self-timer now, I
can't get it to loosen up and work without sticking.
Any of you gurus with knowledge of the innards of the MX-EVS, have an
opinion on the above?
Thanks.
