Yay! I managed to solve my own problem. For a change, I did something right, and didn't have to undo any more pieces of the lens than I needed to. Well, almost. I removed the three tiny squib screws, which in retrospect, I now realize I didn't have to remove, but which allowed a sleeve to drop down, revealing four countersunk Phillips screws that hold the base assembly in place. These four screws were loose. So I pushed in on the base assembly toward the front of the lens, and tightened the four screws. Mounted it onto an A-1, and zip, zing, zammo! Infinity focus has returned. That was pretty easy actually.

Now comes the fun part. I gotta try and get those squib screws back into their holes.
