Hello everyone!
I have two Pentax MV sitting on my table. One is rusty and has damaged internals, the other is fine, but misses its rewinder knob. Luckily, the rusty one has a fully functioning knob that I'd like to transfer to the OK one. I attached an image to make it less confusing.
My problem is, that I have no idea how to remove the knob from one camera and attach it on the other. Can anyone give me some advice on how to do it, or where to look for service manuals that explain the process?

Ha. Never mind. Just figured it out:
Block the rewind spool with a ruler or some other hard plastic object (not to leave scratches) and turn the knob counter-clockwise. |

Yes, just stick the shaft of a screwdriver in the fork of the rewind shaft inside the film compartment. |
