    copal connundrum

    My Copal 1 froze up
    It's cocked, but cannot be fired, either with a cable release or manually.
    It won't budge!
    Any suggestions before I send it off for repairs?
    Any quick fix I've overlooked?

    Make sure the preview lever is COMPLETELY closed, or move it back and forth a few times. Can it be moved?

    Hello Arne!

    Yes the preview lever opens and closes. I moved it back and forth a few times and...I can trip the shutter!
    Thank You!
