Thanks. The eraser did the trick. Now I want to know how to get the ASA/Exposure selection dial off. I am using a pair of machinist dividers to try and undo the slotted nut but i'm finding it really difficult to get off. It just won't budge. Which direction is it threaded? And why is it so tight? Is there a technique I could use to loosen it? I know it's a bad idea to use chemicals.

I agree. This camera is actually one of the nicest examples I've ever seen. Just needs a new focus screen. I don't think it's worth wasting a beautiful camera which works perfectly just because of that, keeping in mind that this camera has no mechanical faults whatsoever and is mint on the outside. I'll just have to be careful removing the prism and then I should be able to access the screen.
Yeah I thought so. The skin on my fingers is actually starting to peel off from trying to get the lever off. Thanks for your help.

Rewind knob is already off. I think a pair of machinist dividers or like you said, a pair of modified pliers should work for the ASA selector. How would I remove the rewind lever? I'm pretty sure the cap on it is threaded on but it seems like it would be difficult to get it off without scratching it up.
Sorry, I know questions like this have been asked many times before but I just wanted to be absolutely sure. Thanks

Hi,
I want to remove the top cover on my ME Super so I can replace the focusing screen. I know how to remove the rewind crank but not the ASA dial, so I can't access the screw under it. I don't know how to remove the rewind lever either. I know the cap is threaded but I don't see anything to grip onto. Is there a special tool to remove it? Also do I need to remove the shutter button aswell?
Thanks
