It's a fundamentally simplistic arrangement. Depressing the film rewind button declutches the film-transport toothed sprocket so that it free rotates upon fim rewind. When the film advance lever is operated, the button is released and the sprocket clutch re-engages under spring pressure. Best thing to do is remove the camera baseplate. You will then see what is holding the rewind button "IN". Operate the film advance lever and look for a an interface movement which is designed to remove the button arrest. There are no complicated gear-trains or rocket science stuff about the Nikon FG film-rewind detent. Whatever big dollars the repair-shop wanted - the quantum had little to do with the specific problem which you cite. |
