I went to Japan on a study mission in 1990. I had my trusty Nikon FE with me. On my first day there, the film advance lever jammed while trying to advance the film and this also disabled the shutter release. Since this trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me I spent hours at the hotel wiggling and jiggling everything on the camera to free it up...to no avail. I found out at the hotel concierge that there was a Nikon repair facility only a short walk from the hotel I was at in downtown Tokyo.
I took the camera there and asked for a repair estimate. “Tomorrow” they said. The repair estimate called for a shutter replacement at almost what I had paid for the camera in 1976. I passed on the repair. Back at the hotel, I looked at the camera again and in frustration, banged it down on the dresser. Then I heard the unmistakable click of the shutter and/or mirror. The camera was once again functional and I have never had another problem with it. It doesn’t get used any more but I still have it and it still works to my knowledge.
Now I am not suggesting anything but, what does a guy have to lose?
Good luck!

In 1991, I went on a study mission to Japan, to visit some companies that had "successful" Total Quality Programs in place. I took my trusty Nikon FE that had already taken years of rough treatment without complaint. My wife suggested that I take her little Kodak pocket camera...just in case. I laughed but she insisted and I obliged to keep peace in the family.
On my first day in Japan and only on the second exposure the camera jammed as I was advancing the film. I did all sorts of tapping and jiggling of various parts but the shutter release and the film advance lever were immovable. At my hotel in Tokyo, they advised me that I was only two blocks away from a Nikon repair centre so I went there and dropped the camera off to be checked out. When I returned later in the day, the service guy advised me the camera would need a new shutter mechanism and the job including labour would be about $250.00 Cdn. I hadn't paid much more for the camera when I bought it in 1976 (i think).
I didn't get it repaired and captured a lot of memorable (if slightly inferior) images of the rest of my time in Japan with the Kodak.
When I got home and was unpacking, I took out the Nikon from my luggage, thanked my wife for the use of her camera and slammed the darned Nikon on the bedside table. Then I heard it...the audible click of the shutter. That was 1991 and the FE, although used infrequently, still worked perfectly the last time I used it about a year ago.
To this day, I always have a back up if I think there will be photo opportunities that I don't want to miss. If you are still reading, sorry about the verbosity.

London Drug website has them listed at $1599.99 and they say that is reduced from their regular price of 1649.99. This is consistent with my information on Nikon's Canadian pricing. Don't forget about the gst and the BC pst.
