I have 3 ME Supers. (One bought new & the other two from a job lot I
bought). One still works perfectly, one doesn't fire occasionally & the
third fires only intermittently. From what I have read, a CLA (Clean, Lube &
Adjust) service is necessary. Are there still techs who can do that?
Apparently the grease on the many levers & pivots hardens with time, causing
the problem. I tried leaving them in the sun which helped for a while but
the problem recurred after a couple of hours.

Damn! I had an ME Super with the same problem that I tossed about a year
ago. I should have tried that.

You are the 2nd or 3rd person that suggested that. So I just whacked it a
few times for the 2nd or 3rd attempt. It worked!
Thanks Bob, and thanks to all who contributed suggestions!

Stan,
Give it a sharp spank or three.
I've cleared some hangups this way before on the ME Super.

Good thought. But no help. I have worked the settings-dial back and
forth a few times. The only position that feels different is L (Lock?).
When in L position the shutter does not depress at all. In all other
positions the shutter button moves but does nothing.

Did you try setting to 125x position? isn't it supposed to be the only
mechanical speed? or Bulb?

I'll contact the seller - I got most of my money's worth just with
the lens, but I was looking forward to a working film camera to do a
