 Hi all:
 
It has been a fairly unlucky week for me.  My nikkormat FT3 and FG died on me within a few days.  My FT3 got stuck at B setting and firing is intermittent.  I tried to clean the cocking ram but it doesn't seem to work.
 
FG just tot

 On the FG, make sure the batteries are good.  Set shutter to B and see that unjams it.

 Hi:
 
I got it fixed!  It's a bent disk on the bottom.  I spent quick some time to figure this out but it's working fine now.  
 
Still haven't figured out how to fix FT3 yet...

 I've got an Nikon FG.  I just found out their shutters are electronic.  With mine the shutter curtains will not open except on M90 and Bulb shutter settings.  Does this mean a computer chip is too old in it?  How much for repair?

 And I replaced the batteries.  I just got into photography and found this camera in our storage.

 I also have got a FG and have the same problem shutter works only on B M90.  Replaced the battries and found no differance.  I could cycle the shutter however after it remained open by removing the battery.

 Did anyone find a *cure* for this problem because I am experiencing the same one, OK on B and M90 but nothing on any of the other settings
