I did this repair last year. The camera had been equipped with a "soft release" that had got a knock, and bent the top plate quite badly. I took it off and strightened it just as goodman describes, after removing the shutter release collar. The frame counter disc was also bent, but I "ironed" it straight with the top of my tweezers. The hard part was the on/off meter switch, which is rather robust, but was badly bent just the same. After bending it back in a small vice, I honed it flat and smooth on a sharpening stone. I had verry litle experience with this kind of work, but everything went fine, so don't give up! Good luck. And get a repair manual. It is quite reassuring to have one. |
