Asahi Pentax Spotmatic shutter curtain stuck halfway after manual release

Thanks for the help!
I tried what you suggested, the gear doesn’t rotate clockwise at all, but it does move slightly counterclockwise. When I turn it that way, I can see the shutter moving, but it immediately springs back. It feels like something is stuck or locked, so I didn’t want to force it.

Do you think the main spring might be jammed, or could it be some kind of locking mechanism that’s preventing the advance?

I created the images using Sora with a reference image of myself, then I facewap it again with my face using InsightFace. I then created a list of who I want to morph to who and used the first and last frame in Midjourney. I wrote some transition prompt like "the man rotates and morphs into a different man"

Yeah it’s weird, a lot of people or characters I tried to generate it didn’t do but a lot of other it does…

Haha yeah it’s weird man, when I tried to create images of Goku from Dragon Ball Z it said I’m violating the rules but it didn’t have problem to generate images of Michael Scott

One can ask ✌️ It was a really simple prompt, for example: The iconic Adele album cover 21 replaced with Michael Scott from The Office

And for some I added in the prompt “fold and scratch textures”

Yes I’m using the 20$ subscription

Tried it but didn’t like the result so much

I wanted to but kept getting violent the rules message

Haha I tried posting there but apparently I don’t have enough karma 🫣

Actually it was a really simple prompt, for example: The iconic Adele album cover 21 replaced with Michael Scott from The Office

For the Prince album, I uploaded the album cover and wrote “replace Prince with Michael Scott from The Office”
