Mamiya RB67: Light Trap Stuck Halfway After a Fall

This Mamiya RB67 had impact damage. I was told it fell in a sand dune, but fortunately, I noticed no sand damage. The light trap was only going up halfway so no exposure through the lens. Also, light seals on the mirror were gone and needed replacing. After repairs, it’s now ready for more desert photography.
