Shutter problems with Pentax?

I have an old 1970's pentax camera and just recently the shutter started to stick for just about every picture. Is this an oil problem? Easily fixed? Is it something I can do myself?

The foam rubber inside is probably degrading and turning into sticky gunk. A good clean, lube and adjust should fix it. Take it to a good camera store and ask if they know of somewhere to send it.

it no gud now buy new 1

Wow! Keep the camera, quit using it.
That might be a collectors item some day! If it's an SLR (which, I might be wrong... but for some reason I think that all pentax's were) it might be worth something eventually. You don't want to go ruining it.
I agree, get a new one, figure out how to fix the old one and put it in it's box at the top of the closet... or you could sell it to me :-)
