Once there, I cleaned off the shutter leaves and fiddled around with some of the parts to see what happened when I gently moved them. I finally got to the main part of the lens, which you can see here (that's the manual I used for most of the repair). I took apart the front of the lens, trying to be as careful as I could not to ruin anything. Considering I bought the thing for $45, that didn't sound too swell to me. One of them said that it sounded like a shutter issue and offered to fix it for about $150. I fiddled and fiddled until finally I called some local camera repair shops to see if they had any ideas. No debris, but a few little fuzzy things that I think were bugs. I watched a couple YouTube videos and took apart the top and bottom covers, hoping to see something stuck inside a gear that could easily be removed. This was the first time I ever tried to repair anything so I didn't really have much of an idea of how the insides of the camera worked. I recently bought a Yashica Electro 35 GS and it was in good condition except for the fact that the film advance lever was stuck all the way at the end of its range, right before it would normally release and go back to its original position. Found the issue to be a stuck transport latch, moved it back and it worked! Tore it apart, learned about how cameras work kinda. Bought a camera with a stuck film advance lever.
