<un-lurking...> Hi Everyone, I rarely post anything here (not for a long time anyway) so I hope I'm not intruding by asking a question.
My MX has a niggling problem at the moment, which I haven't been able to solve. Namely, the shutter lock is very unreliable. It always unlocks, so the camera is perfectly usable, but it often doesn't lock properly. I'm rather more worried that the batteries might be run flat (by something pressing on the shutter release in my bag) than accidental exposure. I don't normally leave it wound on in any case. Oh and, if it is of interest, the shutter lock works a little more reliably if I hold the camera upside down! So far I've read through the service manual on Mark Roberts' 'site (thanks Mark) and also found ca.geocities.com/spirope/mxmlu.htm which has been handy (I also had the meter switch problem but that is now sorted.) At the moment the base plate is off, the leatherette is peeled away from around the self timer (I've tried adjusting the length of the shutter rod via those two screws) and I've removed and replaced the shutter lock itself. I can't *see* anything wrong particularly so I'm at a bit of a loss. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Many thanks, Eric.
