Shutter button locked. I was able to rewind the film that was in camera. The camera is metering. I looked in the take-up reel compartment and there appears to be a metal (silver) O-ring that is visible at the top of the take up reel. Is this normally visible or has it broken or slipped off the shaft? The actual take-up reel rotates in booth directions. Anyone have a similar experience? I wanted feedback before I ship it off to get repaired. The other part of the equation would be parts availability; I recall a thread about Leica not selling parts to independent dealers. Does this mean it must go to Leica? Thanks, Sam
