P3D Replacing Plastic Lens Cover on Stereo Realist Camera

[bill3dbw3d@xxxxxxxx (Bill C Walton)]

There has been a LOT of discussion on the above listed procedure lately. 
Here are the instructions which Mr Realist, Ron Zakowski, includes when
you order a new lens cover from him.  I would think that he probably
knows what he is doing and this procedure can be accepted and followed. 
At least it worked for me!!!

TO BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY
1.  Set Shutter Ring for one-fifth second.

2.  Remove the four screws from the plastic piece holding the shutter-
setting ring.

3. Lift this plastic piece with the shutter-setting ring directly away
from the rest of the camera.

4.  Place this piece and the lens cover together appropriately and lay
this together on a table with the lens cover down.

5.  Insert the springs with the upper ends of the springs in their
appropriate places.

6.  Then, using a screwdriver or other appropriate tool, press against
the curved portion of the spring to temporarily lengthen it by
straightening it.  This will make the other end of the spring snap into
its proper  place on the lens cover itself.  Repeat operation for the
other spring.

7.  To replace the assembly onto the camera, set the shutter-setting ring
at one-fifth of a second and settle the assembly onto the rest of the
camera, perhaps switching the shutter-setting ring a degree or so to
assist the pin entering its proper place in the shutter mechanism below.

8.  Replace the four screws

9.  Test shutter operation to see if it seems reasonable at one-fifth of
a second, one-tenth of a second , etc.  If these are satisfactory the
installation in successfully completed.

Been there, done that several times!!!!!
