ME Super shutter problem?

I have a Pentax ME Super that I've been using pretty regularly for the past year or so - it's in great shape for how much use it's gotten but today, while out shooting, the shutter seemed to "jam" and now it won't fire. It worked fine up until that point - there was no indication that there was anything wrong.

Everything looks as though it's ready to take the next picture and the advancing lever seems as it would normally when the camera is ready to go for the next shot.

Any help on what might have happened would be much appreciated.

I use a Super Program quite often - in the same family as your ME.

Can you see if the batteries are still strong by the read-outs? Or try changing the batteries?

What is/was your selsector set to? Try all settings.

Would you be willing to rewind the film? Or try pressing in the rewind release on the bottom to see if that frees anything up? If you keep track of the frame count, you can reload to that point and carry on later.

If the shutter is in fact jammed, it would be good to get a look at it with the back open.

Please let us know what you find and good luck.

If all else fails - there's always Eric Hendrickson in Tennessee - a miracle worker.
