[Tom Deering <tdeering@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently, Sam said he would take down his hacker web pages because of the
time it takes to field questions.  The following message reminded me of
that.  This gentleman attended my presentation in Green Bay.

>I have removed the left hand film spool knob, the viewfinder
>(glass,  mirror, hood), the lefthand strap attachment and
>the back as well as the  2 screws in the sides near the
>bottom although these don't seem to  release anything.
>
>   1. Do I have to remove the lenses and if so do I have to
>remove the  viewing lense first and how? How do I maintain
>the focusing connection  between the 2 lenses? (Mark gears
>at point of contact?) I do have a  spanner that will remove
>the inside retainer of the taking lense.

>   2. How do I remove the left side film advance knob?

>   3. How do I remove the flash shoe? I have removed the
>cover and see 3  rivet heads.

>   4. How do I remove the light baffle box or is it part of
>the camera  body?

>   5. To join the 2 bodies, did you use glue and if so what
>type is best  for this type of plastic?
>
>   6. Any suggestions you can offer will be greatly
>appreciated particularly in the shutter area. I think I
>recall you saying that you  removed most of the works from
>the righthand shutter or was it just the  flash sync part.
