If you're not careful closing the camera back you can bang things up.
I assume that the one roll that didn't have the problem was shot
before I dinged the pressure plate.  This is the same camera I've been
using for about a year now.

I'm going to try and flatten the pressure plate.  There is a definite
spot where the plate is bent.  It is not a curve, but a sharp bend.
Tom has generously offered to give me a replacement door assembly from
one of his parts cameras, but I want to try fixing this one first.
