Hi everyone. On my old SRT 101, the depth-of-view switch isn't working properly anymore. The button on the side of the lens mount is fully out, but cannot be pressed in and the lens' aperture is open nevertheless. The metal triangle inside the mount that makes the connection to the adequate pin on the lens has come loose of the button. When I press this triangle to the left in its supposedly normal position, I can see a thin metal blade (some sort of spring) on the right side, and it's only attached on one end.
My question: I think, this spring should be attached on both ends (or at least wedged in somehow), but I have no idea as to where. The only schematics I found are these:

on the pic called srt101-2.tif, the section in question is to be seen, but not clearly enough for me to be of any help.
The camera is still exposing correctly.
I should add that to this point, I was operating just with the lens unmounted, and I'm a little reluctant to open the whole casing, since I'm not a camera techie. Any ideas??
Thanks in advance,
