A CLA might clear up the problems.

Folks,
I'm having a slight issue with an old, beat-up MX I bought for next to
nothing a year or two ago (not sure if I told anyone here.) On the
last film I shot with it, a large number of frames only came out as
partially exposed. To show you what I'm talking about, I went ahead
and scanned the entire film (well, I probably wanted digital versions
of some pictures anyway.) Here is an "index file" produced during this
process:

All images have the "natural" orientation of the film, and they are
ordered according to frame no, and split into the same "strips" as the
film itself.
As you can see, there is often data missing, always on the same side,
but the amount varies. There are also a few "blanks", but this might
of course be caused by something else entirely. I think I saw
something like this earlier, too, but then there were only 2 or 3
incidents throughout the film.
So, what do you reckon? Is the shutter broken, or what? If it is,
would it be worth fixing? Also, if the curtains stick or whatever, why
not all the time? (Different exposure times?) Or alternatively, is
there something else that might cause something like this? I mean,
besides actually blocking parts of the lens, as surely I would have
noticed that in the viewfinder.
