Hey all,
I have an old Spotmatic that I am trying to remove the top plate to check into an issue I'm having with the shutter button being stuck down.
When removing the center screw on the film advance lever, the head of the screw broke off, letting me take the plate with the shot counter off, but obviously the screw is still inside the mechanism preventing further progress.
I'm looking for ideas for how to get it out. I have a parts donor that I can use the replace the screw once I'm done. I have thought of maybe JB welding something to the top so I can screw it out, but it's so small I don't know if I want to risk getting the weld on any of the rest of the pieces...
Any ideas? I really like this camera, but I suppose at some point it's more effort than it's worth
Thanks. See the attached images.
