Three weeks into fixing a Pentax Spotmatic and the shutter curtain keeps jamming on me

Three weeks into fixing a Pentax Spotmatic" sounds like the start of a horror movie to me. That shutter curtain has a mind of its own, I swear. Three weeks is about two weeks longer than I'd last before yeeting it into a drawer. At this point you're less a photographer and more a repair therapist for a broken camera that doesn't want to be fixed. Welcome to the club, there's coffee in the corner and a stack of half-working cameras on the table.

Lol yep that shutter curtain is pure evil. I gave up on mine after a week and just bought a different body. Three weeks is dedication I don't have.

@butler.brian's right, three weeks of wrestling a shutter curtain sounds like a great way to learn patience.
