Matti, Take the motor drive off the body. There are two holes in the body where the motor drives the film winding. Make sure the motordrive has the two plugs for the body securely stored into the screw in slots on the top of the motordrive.
Of course, you will NOT fire the camera for the first time until you can check/see the mirror moving when you do. It sounds like no sticky mirror, but good to check it yourself after the camera has sat for a while. Regards, Bob S.
