Sent it in for service, and it came back to me, good as new.
Besides a normal clean lube, and adjust, they "replaced a bushing" in the camera. Been working like a champ ever since.

On Saturday, I bought a used (obviously) but very clean ME Super outfit. It appears there is a problem with the shutter and film winding mechanism, and I'm looking for some help.
First, the mirror is in the "up" position, that is, when you remove the lens, you are looking at the shutter. And the film advance lever appears to be jammed. Nothing happens when I depress the shutter release button, but the film advance lever cannot be moved through its full stoke. At least not without applying a lot more force than it I'm comfortable with. The release button on the bottom of the body was up (depressed) when I got it, but I managed to get it to drop by pushing it with the end of a paper clip.
So, any suggestions?
I only paid $20 for the whole outfit, including extra lenses, flash, case, filters, and so on, so even if the camera is a paper weight I should be able to sell the rest and get my money out.
Would like to use it, though
