I just disassembled the top end of my A-1 (first time it's been apart since purchasing it new in 1979), to oil a squeaky shutter mechanism. Everything's back together and the camera works perfectly now, but during disassembly, a very tiny brass or bronze washer (approx. 2mm OD) fell out from somewhere, and I can't figure out where it belongs. I've consulted the exploded diagram in the Canon A-1 repair manual, without luck. Any suggestions???

Clarification: I disassembled only those parts necessary to remove top cover, and viewfinder eyepiece (to clean).
