Thanks for your reply bgelfand. Would I still be able to get the film out even thought he rewind button is stuck? Is there any particular technique to doing it? Or just a question of manually (and gently) moving the thumbwheel?

Forgot to mention that the film advance lever doesn't snap back when it's advanced, it just stays put in whatever position it's moved to

Hi I have a Nikkormat FTN that I had repaired about 5 years ago (as I remember the camera shutter was firing fine but no photos were getting exposed). It's worked great since then until today when the shutter stopped firing. It seems like the shutter is cocked but the shutter release button won't depress fully (feels like trying to press the button when the shutter isn't cocked). I thought I would try and unload my film and see if that helps anything but the rewind button is stuck too. I can advance the film advance lever all the way with some mild resistance but it doesn't feel like the normal resistance I got when I advanced the lever when the camera was fully operational. The battery and exposure meter seem to be working fine. Is there anything that can be done here? Or anything I can do to unload the film? Thanks in advance for any help.
