Nikon F301 troubleshooting

Hi folks, hoping someone can help with this. I recently purchased a Nikon F301 as my first nikon slr. Having received it in the post and thrown in a fresh set of a aaa batteries the camera will fire off four shots quickly and that's it.

It doesn't matter if its in single shot or continuous mode, or what shutter speed, exposure compensation etc, it just fires off fours shots and thats it. After this the top led flashes for approx 15 secs and the only way to stop this is either switching it to lock or opening the film door, which resets the camera to allow the usual four shots to be fired. Also it appears the shutter curtain is jammed, it doesn't open at all on any setting.

Can someone help with a prognosis, as I need to leave feedback to the seller, who claimed it worked fully, and any bad news will result in this brick being sent back

Thanks in advice

Ryan
