Camera problems

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I am even having camera problems (first the car, then the airport card in my computer, now this...). I thought I would take some stereo images since it would be a pretty straight forward project, but the winding mechanism completely locked up. I had to do some serious work to unlock it, get it out and get it working again. Once I took out the film rewind stud, a tiny ball bearing and spring flew out. I was able to find the ball, but not the spring. Now I have the spool spinning freely, which is a very good thing considering it completely locked up, but the mechanism no longer has anything to hold it in. Until I can get home and fix it (especially since I probably won't be shooting with it, anyway), I have devised a MacGyver solution:




It now works better than it ever has.
