I realize this is an old thread ... but I thought I would add some info. My Canon P counter did not reset to S, it was always at 40. I took the top off and then pulled the counter dial off without thinking (or looking at the Canon 7 service guide), and the wound spring sprung out. It appears that the spring has hooked ends that catch on the dial and the centre column. In my case the hooked end on the centre column broke off, including other bits of the spring ... this metal is brittle. I heated the metal and hooked the end ... then wound it back on. I had to turn the dial around twice to get enough tension (that was not easy), and now the dial returns to S. |
