I've got an old Pentax MG I bought off ebay a while back and was really pleased with I'd picked up for very little money. The only thing is, it seems to have jammed up. The shutter stuck and the winder lever is jammed too.
When I spoke to a camera repair shop they told me it'd cost more just to take it apart and have a look than what I had paid for it, and that was BEFORE they fixed it!
So my question is this:
I've never done anything like this but if I take it apart myself to have a go at fixing it is there anything I should be aware of (apart from the obvious keeping it as free from dust as possible)?
