I will take almost anything apart and work on it, but I put this on the level of open heart surgery! Not for me, but I admire your skill and understanding of the mechanics involved. Well done!

If you don't mind ebay, I have used the battery latch this seller provides. It fits perfectly. Good luck!

Pentax K50 - Green Solenoid Aperture Issue / Guidance

The K20 probably does not have a solenoid. If it is like the K10, the flash release is mechanically connected to the release button. If you can raise the flash on your K20 with the camera turned off, then there is no solenoid. The aperture mechanism does not use a solenoid,either. As PhotoGem has outlined, you need a K100,110,K-X,K-R or *istDxx series camera body to harvest a white solenoid. The repair process is not difficult, but requires patience.

Just my .02 worth.

Cloth shutter vs metal shutter

I bought my SP500 in 1972. I has been used a lot, stored in less than ideal conditions at times. It still works fine. I have had and sold several Spotmatics, and none has ever had a problem with the cloth shutter curtains. I would say that the cloth shutter is quite reliable.

Great image, Tony. But, for what it's worth, this is an F-5. The Canopy is the clue, this is a single-seater. The T-38 is a two seat version of the F5, and looks very similar.

I'm quite impressed with it. You are right, the 20mp sensor is something special. I'm relieved, too, that it is working OK.

K-S1: A BLUE Solenoid?

My wife bought a K-S1 with the aperture solenoid problem, after I assured her I could fix it.
I was quite surprised to open it to find a BLUE solenoid! How odd. Obviously, someone else tried, unsuccessfully, to fix the original aperture solenoid problem.

The white solenoid transplant was a success and my wife is quite pleased with her new camera. My compliments to @Photogem for his excellent tutorial on disassembling the K-S1. It is a bit different, but a very nice camera.
