Thanks! I put the red gear towards the winder before assembling and now it locks in place properly! The issue seems to be the shutter not going back into the original position completely. I'm going to attempt a little more cleaning of residue to see if that fixes it.

Other thing I just noticed: I had been shooting with the mirror locked up. I remembered that the original problem was the mirror sticking up, so i tried with the mirror lowered. The mirror stays stuck in the upward position after I wind the shutter

The hook in the middle of the gap is what I have to push back so i can fire it again. I believe the area below the large gear is just the timer, so i wont have to look at that I assume, but maybe I have to open the front to reach the element in the gap?

With the back open I can see the shutter speeds and aperture changing when firing

Honestly. This repair has made me both love and hate this hobby.

I saw somewhere that flipping the lightmeter on and off continuesly might force it to work somehow. Maybe that is what eventually got me lucky

Been messing with it for three days. It just turned on for some reason

Sorry, I meant to say the lightmeter display in the viewfinder!

Hello! In an old safe of the school I work it, they found a Canon A1 and gave it to me. Awesome! All I really had to do was oil the thing to get the squeek out. But.... the lightmeter display seems dead. I´ve checked the following - In auto mode, you can clearly see it changes settings...

So with all the input I decided tw things: - bought an old FED 2 on a local online marketplace with Lens for a good sum. Flange should be the same as my FED 1 is one of the later types. Im going to check with the newer lens, although asthetics on the industar 10 are just better. When I find...

Thanks! Im not quite familiar with the m39 lenses (also because of the ffd). Got any recommendations for a replacement if need be?
