The small spring and steel ball from under the Super Program's shutter release/selector dial was jammed, broken, and thanks to the physics of a spring, now missing. Any idea where to buy new ones or am I going to need to buy a used camera for parts. It's an inherited camera and has much sentimental value. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have bid on an ebay camera but the prices are generally higher than I wanted to pay.

for small balls: search hardware stores for small ball bearings. If you have a wasted CPU fan of the better sort you can possibly get one ball bearing from there. Cheapos have only brass bushing...

for a spring: try pens, mabbe a tightened spring from a ballpen would fit, maybe a piece of rubber in the hole would be sufficient.
