[OM] 2SP-Shutter problem

Hi all!

I have a question for you.
My spare camera, a 2SP, is not functioning at all anymore.
I was out walking a whole day with back pack, including my dear 2SP. It was chilly, about -3 degrees Celsius, when I for the second time in my life experienced something weird with the advance lever. I pulled it as usual the whole way, and was going to release the shutter. Impossible. So I pulled the advance lever once again and was then able to take a picture.

A couple of hours later I once again pulled the lever to get ready to shoot again. This time I experienced the same problem, so I repeated the procedure. But this time I was unable to release the shutter. Nor could I advance the lever anymore. The camera is stuck in that position, and I cannot get it to shoot. The battery is in very good condition, and the manual settings doesn't affect the shutter at all.

I have tried to use I winder 2 with it without result. It only makes a noice, and nothing more. The shutter doesn't move and nor does the film advance.

I think I have heard that the 2SP has had problems with the film advance function, but I'm not sure.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY DEAR FRIEND?
What can I do to cure him from this disease?

I'd be very happy to get a few answers in this issue. I have many photo-jobs going on now, and I can't only do with my 4Ti.

Please advice!

Regards
