My MTL50's lightmeter died some weeks ago and I had to resolder the connections to bring it back from the dead. It now seems to work but in the process I must have done something.. now the little dented wheel that connects the speed dial to the timer won't move when the two are connected (see picture). The dented wheel moves when not connected to the timer.

Is this repairable or have I broken some delicate mechanism?
