My 1972 Pentax Spotmatic jammed on the last frame of a roll at my nephew's birthday party.
The advance lever just locked up halfway through. I had to finish the party with my phone, which felt wrong. I took it apart on my kitchen table that night. Found a tiny spring had come loose inside the film counter mechanism. Got it back in place with tweezers and a lot of swearing. It's working now, but I missed the cake shot. Anyone know a good source for old Pentax service manuals online, just in case?
