I've found that there are many variations of the same shutter no matter the manufacturer. But there is enough simularity between them that a little bit of intuitive thinking goes a long way. I was surprised that the self timer in mine is not screwed down at some point. But that made it so much easier to get out. And since I had those two items out, I decided to go ahead with the rest of the lens teardown, since I have to defungus the elements.

Someone must have tried to get your self-timer back to the start by forcing the gears. It's too bad, but like you said, it won't affect the overall operation of the camera. Just take the tension spring out (but don't loose it, it may come in handy down the road).

Glad to have been some assistance, Corey. We've all got to learn somwhere, sometime.
