Default How to fix?

Hey, I've got this camera laying here for some months now, bought it as a bargain on ebay together with a lens that works perfectly on one of my other film bodies...
Seeing the photo below, I assume this would cause mayor light leaks when using it in this condition right?
Camera: Nikon N-4004


So, what would you recommend me to do to try to fix this?
The camera cost me around 10-20 US $ , so its not a real big deal if it breaks

PS: Sorry for the crappy photo, the only camera I have available atm is my cellphone's...

For the cost of a roll of film you can easily find out if there are major light leaks or other problems with this shutter curtain.

Hmm, you're right, the guy in the shop told me the same thing... I posted this in case anyone here had a similar situation... oh well, time to buy the cheapest roll of film I can find I guess

You might get a bit more information from other viewers if you tell us the make and model of the camera.
