I just bought a Yashica Mat LM recently and it's pretty banged up. The focusing knob is really loose, it's dangling off, and I'd like to get it back to its original position. Any advice, please?

Thank you!

If you spin off the cover disc which is the center of that knob, under that is a big nut that can be tightened.

Uhh scratch that. i loosened it and took the whole knob out because there was something rattling around. Now i can't put it back, nor can the knob be taken apart to put the washers back in place! Suggestions?

Thanks!
