Minolta Shutter Fix

Hi all, I am still relatively new to film cameras, please advise:

On every roll about two or three shots are obstructed by the shutter (see photos). Is this something I can fix on my own?

The camera is a Minolta SRT100x

Can you narrow it down to a range of shutter speeds where this occurs?

I would say no.

Probably more cost-effective to buy a replacement that works properly rather than pay for a repair.

That ius a rather common problem with the horizontal two curtain type shutter. One of the curtains will stick a bit stopping the light coming in. It can be fixed with some lubrication but it is best done by a repair person. ( I guess over $100)
