Hi there, I recently bought a Minolta XE-1 which is in full working order but has its self timer lever broken off - hence why it was such a bargain. Can anyone tell me how I remove the old stump so that I can see about finding a new lever and fit that (possibly through salvage).

There should be a screw holding the lever onto the shaft. Normally this is a pin face screw (with two small holes) or a crosshead screw under a cover. To remove a pin face screw use a small pair of old scissors or similar as a wrench.

It may not be the case now but about 3 years ago when the lever broke on my XE-1, Minolta in the UK remarkably still had brand new spares.
