I was replacing the focusing screen on my MAT-124G and one of the spring pieces that makes the hood pop up, uh sprung into the warrens of my shop. After two hours, I've given up looking.

Anyone got one to sell?

Nevermind. After hours of napping, the missing part appeared on one final sweep of the shop. Where was it? At the bottom of an almost empty box of nitrile gloves.

There is, indeed, a God ...

"Long Shot" - is that what the missing spring did?
I deleted your duplicate of this thread.
Hope you find one.

That is also where all nonstandard fasteners, odd mechanical contrivances, and no longer manufactured specialty parts go.
