rob_x2004 Posted November 20, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) The short story is that the dial fell off, I believe I have all the shims, two. I have refixed the dial, dry, no loctite on screw, no grease between shims. It is stiffer than it was which is understandable becasue shims would need to bed again. Any advice? Anyone know location of exploded diagram, would feel pretty silly if there were three shims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted November 20, 2007 Thats a no go for now. No spares in Aus and ETA approx six weeks if ordered now and all goes well over christmas and some euro happy holiday that seems to see germany ass up in beer or something. Its "help yourself" for now and I am up and running. Will speak to melbourne again tomorrow, where the trained techie is competent and pretty good guy, and will take teh time to talk to you but was AFK so to speak today. The long story was so improbable that I still have any of the parts at all. Damn Im sunburnt but worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhild Posted November 20, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2007 There are no shims under the MP shutter speed dial, at least not on mine. If your´s is stiffer now the reason could be the fixing screw was loose since long.Solution: use some screw lock, but only the blue one.

meatboy Posted November 20, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 20, 2007 Rob, do you buy the Aust Photographic Trader? - its in most newsagents. There are a some Leica service techs listed. You could call them all and see if they can help? I dont have any experience with any of them but they may have the part or assist with the knowledge. Good luck with your Melbourne guy, hope he can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted November 21, 2007 Pardon me sketchy sketch. Not accuarate, jsut what I remember. Dont have teh camera in front of me and I wasnt really paying much attention to the pieces just trying to find them all. Washer shims may even vary camera to camera, set at camera assembly so that the wheel doesnt bind on the top plate. Probabaly should buy some loctite. .......[ATTACH]62410[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted November 21, 2007 Share #7 Posted November 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rob, You can use nail polish as well... the poor mans loctite. It is pretty easy to break loose. Maybe don't torque the screw that holds the dial to tight then the dial will move a bit easier..... Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted November 22, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 22, 2007 Try making some paper shims from tracing paper or grease proof paper (a hole punch or leather punch and sharp knife would help), - might help until you can get the correct ones.
