I would be eternally grateful if anyone is familiar with this camera. My friend wants to sell it with lenses and accessories on ebay. I told her I would test it to see if it was salable. I was able to find the manual online, and it was completely useless. Batteries are fresh, and the camera powers on, it winds a new roll of film just as it should, so the shutter mechanism works, but the shutter release button will not depress, not even a little. It doesn't feel like it's stuck; it feels like it's locked. If there is a lock of some kind, it's not mentioned in the manual.
Any advice would be most welcome. THANKS! >Alan

If you can not press the shutter release button it's stuck. There are situations when the shutter will not be released when the button is pressed but you should always be able to push the button down.

No loss. The $$ value of a fully working example is somewhere zouth of zero.
Same goes for AF lenses. If there’s any MF lenses those are popular for adapting to Sony and such ... but mostly of rather modest value.

Gotcha. Thanks. I bought my Sony alphas because my old Minolta AF lenses fit perfectly.

It's a long shot, but I'm going to try contact cleaner.
