I understand that without them, light will leak in on the film.   Glenn Tinkerer Username: Glenn Post Number: 644 Registered: 07-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Only the presence of the rewind cover - situated under the rewind knob - is critical to correct operation without motor drive or winder attached. A small rubber bung and then a length of black tape across all socket hole works well - one should not let dirt and debris into interior, hence tape. You might find some small black plastic blanking plugs that will fit, as I'm afraid the metal originals are in the same category as 'hen's teeth'.
