I picked up a Lynx 5000 at a flea market that seems to be in decent shape. Everything worked except the range finder focusing mirror was super dim. So I pulled the top plate to clean the glass (not the mirror) and found that someone in the past decided to wipe the mirror down removing a lot of the chemicals on the mirror that allow it to work properly. Oh well.
I put everything back together and thumbed the film advance lever and it locked on me with the lever out. There is a little back and forth and I can hear a little bit of a buzz sound like the self timer when I move it back and forth.
I pulled the top plate again and used a little flat head screw driver to release the lock on the lever and it went back to the resting position. I thumbed it again and again it locked. When pressing the shutter release, it does nothing like the film advance never fully actuated.
Any idea as to why this is happening? Is it a shutter issue? This camera is starting to frustrate me hahaha
