SMC MACRO-TAKUMAR 100mm F4 Macro Stuck Auto/Manual Switch

I've got a Super-Multi-Coated MACRO-TAKUMAR 100mm F4 Macro that has a stuck Auto - Manual switch. Is there a "trick" to getting it operational again?

Thanks!!

push in the tiny pin on the back of the mount (or attach it to the camera)

Or even a proper lens cap will work.

right, but NOT if you use an SMC-type rear lens cap, which has a special groove like the one on the cameras I mentioned in an earlier reply
