The mechanical self-timer of the Leicaflexes is prone to funkiness after many years of disuse and if the ST jams it locks the whole camera up. IIRC the R3 also has a mechanical self-timer so it may be subject to the same troubles. The solution with Leicaflexes is to either get the ST to complete its run (usually by tapping the hub repeatedly until it's done) or by peeling the leatherette off and removing the ST.
