It just needs a Clean Lube and Adjustment, by a /competent/ technician.
Note the word competent. Should cost less than $100 US probably about
$50. There are an awful lot of bits in an MX that will fly about in lots
of different directions if you get it wrong. I know of a couple of
places that will do the work. I recommend Eric Hedrickson at
http://pentaxs.com/index.html I've sent him only one item that wasn't
fully repaired when I got it back at very reasonable prices.

It's fine at other speeds, but at slow speeds, it doesn't come back
down again after the shot.
To get it to come down I have to advance the film, and take a shot at
a fast speed.
It's not sticking up. I can pull it down with a fingernail, but as
soon as I let go it springs up again.
I'm quite happy to take it to bits to find the fault, but it would be
most handy to have some advice on where to start looking.
Thanks,
Daniele
I can't really tell you where to start, but I can sympathize. That's
what my K1000 started doing that caused it to end up in the repair
shop for over a year.
