Yes, this was the first thing that I tried. The problem is not only
that shutter is blocked, but blocked is the film advance lever we can
say on one thirds of its route. To put the shutter down I can only
with my fingers (there is small metall lever to do it).

Yes, this is the question. I have here 2 authorised repair workshops:
one for Minolta + Co and the second for Pentax.
Here is my question because I know that some peoples on list are
repairing Olympus and they can speak from own experience
Do you think that serviceman for other brand, without experiences for
Olympus, can look inside and dissasemble and reassemble it WITHOUT
SERIOUS PROBABILITY TO DAMAGE IT MORE? Will YOU PERSONALLY try Minolta
and Pentax (With proposition that you do not have experiences with
this brand) or will you have fear to do it?
As I wrote above blocked is shutter and film advance lever.
