You`ll need a "special" tool for removing the slotted lock-nuts that hold
the film advance knob on. Take an old flat-blade screwdriver and grind the
blade down to approx. 7mm wide and 1/2mm thick, taking care not to burn the
temper out of the blade. Then, grind a notch in the center of the blade,
approx. 2 1/2mm wide (I used a Dremel tool & cutoff wheel for this). You may
also have to thin down the blades on a couple of other small screwdrivers,
as the screw slots are very narrow. www.micro-tools.com has German-made
Wiha brand screwdrivers in several sizes, as well as almost *everything*
possible for repairing cameras. Good luck!
