Darren, An original 6x7 can be 'Spotmatic' vintage in age. They had a weakness in the chain linking the aperture to the meter/shutter speed dial. The later vintage 67 fixed the weakness. Take the pentaprism off and check the foam gasket - it can be dead and flattened out. You need a special key to cock the shutter without having film loaded. Good luck, Bob S.
