Hi there. Today while taking photos with my MP I realized some kind of liquid had dropped on the back of my camera. It had been dried before I noticed it. As a reflex I immediately clean the thing but the same stuff had also snuck on to the light seal cloth that covers the parameters of the back door. How can I clean the residue on the light seal? Or should I bother? I am afraid of the possibility of the strange liquid damaging the light seal.

I have finished cleaning out all the old seals in my R3 in order to install new ones I bought more years ago than I care admit to! But here I am on my last stretch in getting my R3 operational again, and I need once more a little help from you people. Since this operation has taken years, I can't any longer remember from where I removed the old seals, and the seal kit I bought is for the R4 as the fellow I bought them from didn't have a kit for the R3, and hence no instructions. So I do know that there are 2 seals in the hinge area, one on the body and one on the door, at least I think I know. Also the "Window" seal on the door is rather obvious. It also looks logical to have 2 long seals in the "long slots" on the top and bottom of the body, right? Now where I'm in doubt is if there also should be 2 long seals on the door??? I had gooey stuff on the door along the area where there could have been a seal, but then again it could also be gooey stuff from the disintegrating old seal, they were nasty after all these years, (from 1976), so far the only thing that I have found bad. Note: I did have a problem with the self timer, which almost freaked me out as it didn't go all the way home and effectively blocked the functioning of the camera. Having otherwise tested all other stuff I accidentally operated this lever and didn't know what to do, but after 10-15 times it all of a sudden started to work and made my day
