Here follows an info request
about a "strange" problem with the LX, not the typical sticky mirror after many
years of use.
I wish I could spread a problem with my elder LX, thus hoping to
collect some data about a possible repair for the camera.
In brief, the fault is as follows: either when you
manually set electronic shutter speeds (4 sec. to 1/60 sec.) or yo uset the auto
operation, the shutter doesn't release. When setting mechanical speeds (1/75 sec. to
1/2000 sec.), including bulb, the shutter works properly. Metering info in viewfinder is
always correct.

Judging from the fault, you could
suspect a broken wire of the magnets driving the curtains in "electronic" mode.
Just an idea, since the meter still works, as well as the mechanical shutter speeds.
