The shutter in an X700 is timed electronically and won't work without battery power, a common fault occurs when one tiny capacitor in the timing mechanism fails, preventing the shutter from releasing.
I have no idea what the faux shutter is because the camera had a fairly conventional horizontal fabric shutter. The actual innovatation is with the closed-loop AE mode where the camera will account for a faulty aperture or more importantly, non-TTL flash by measuring light reflected off the film in real time.
