Ricoh KR-5 possible reflex mirror problem.

Good evening and thank you for reading my first post and inquiry. I just bought a KR-5 and when I was testing the camera out, it worked just fine for the first ten exposures. After that the reflex mirror got stuck in the up position but the shutter never fired.
So I'm assuming that the problem is somewhere in between the mirror coming down and the shutter firing.
I took the lens off and I actually saw the mirror stuck and nudged it gently with my index finger then it snapped down like it normally would. The reflex mirror still gets stuck in the up position more often than it takes successful exposures.
If anyone could help me out with possible solutions please let me know.
Thank you.
