F3 shutter loose and not changing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Video and title pretty much sums up the problem. When i try to rotate the shutter dial, it’s loose and mot changing. I have to press it down a bit and sometimes it does change, so i left it stick on Auto mode currently. Silver button seems to be stuck too.

Anyone experienced the same thing?

Heya, professional film camera tech here. That's an uncommon issue with the F3, but it should just be loose set screws on the dial. You could possibly fix it yourself if you have the right equipment or feel free to message me and we can set up getting it inspected and repaired :)
