[photo-3d] Nimslo repair

If the problem is a stripped screw hole in a plastic component, one thing I've 
done when a metal screw goes into plastic is put a tiny drop of superglue into 
the hole, then wick it out with a q-tip. I posted this to the list years ago, 
but it's probably buried in the archive. I do this as many times as is 
necessare to build up the surface so it will grab the screw. Do it carefully-- 
and of course, at your own risk. This technique has been useful on a number of 
viewers also. Be sure and get the Reel-3D Nimslo book also.

Also, I need an electronically damaged (but physically intact) Nimslo Optilite 
for a project-- anyone have one they want to send me? Since I recently bought 
a new in box Japanese Nimslo with flash on ebay for $36, they don't have great 
value, and I was kind of hoping someone might send one for the cost of postage 
reimbursement, as I have often done for people with repair parts...
