Hi, I have a SX-70 Alpha 1 Model 2 that is in good condition. It works with an empty film pack, however I just noticed that the light shield (I'm calling the metal part in front that has the Polaroid name and model on it) does not stay up. It does not appear to have a spring that is functioning. Is this a big problem. I assume that light will leak in. Can It be easily fixed? Thanks

Please help. I need advice. Is there any good websites that give repair advice besides the one that just shows how to dismantle? I appreciate any comments.
