worked like a charm! thanks mate. but now that I have the back open, is there any way to get the rewind shaft back into place? it doesn't seem to fit back in the same way I suppose? it came out. I was given this camera, so no I didn't remove it, but I assume it was taken out by simply pulling it down. however, I can't get the spare piece I have to go in past a certain point. I don't have the necessary tools for disassembly, so thats out of the question.

ok, so as the title says, I need some help opening a spotmatic's rear door. the trick is, the film rewind knob that you use to pop open the door isn't in the camera. any ideas on how to get the door open, short of disassembly or sending it out for repair? also, would it be possible to put a rewind shaft back into the body without disassembly? I have what seems to be an otherwise functioning black SP, and I have some spare parts to replace the shaft and crank handle, but I don't know if I can get it open. any ideas?
