i was given a kowa super 66... a barter! i was told it was cla'd about 18 mos. ago and looks to be in great shape.

in anticipation i read the instruction manual front to back. well nothing works and i suspect the shutter is not cocked and the mirror is in the up position. i can't remove the lens and the film advance won't work.
in the manual it was clear nothing happened (lens removal, film back removal) unless the shutter was cocked. i'm guessing here.

can anyone advise?
