RB67 Pro S Light Baffle Issue

[igzabeher]

The answer is likely that I'm SOL and have to send it in, but on the off chance that there is some benevolent force in the universe here goes. The light baffle on my RB67 isn't lifting with the mirror. It's not lifting at all. It's not a lens issue, which would be the easiest to solve, as it doesn't lift without a lens attached. Is there a simple fix for this? Full disclosure, it took a tumble in a padded bag, but that shouldn't have been an issue. Right? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially if it doesn't involve a costly repair. Thank you kindly.

After cocking and triggering the body, can you manually (gently!) push the baffle up with a finger from the film side? If so, does it work better on the next cock/trigger cycle?

I can. It does not.

Seeing as the unspoken/written consensus is that I'm screwed, does anyone have a repair shop recommendation? Or want to loan/sell me a Pro S/D body? I'm in the "middle" of a personal project and have neither the time, or honestly money, to be without a body for long. In the case of a loan happy to put up collateral. Thank you kindly.
