Hello all - I'm having trouble with my minolta hi-matic 9. The shutter will not fire correctly. Naphtha worked to free the blades of the shutter but now I'm having another problem where even a full press of the shutter release button is not sufficient to fire it. I have to manually work a lever deep within the lens to get the shutter to fire, and I'm hopeful that there is a way to fix this without disassembling the camera further. I took a video to more easily demonstrate my problem, I hope this link is allowed. It's just a quick 40 second video showing the exact problem: Any help at all very appreciated. Best, Andrew
