Pentax Spotmatic Shutter Dial Screw Popped Out

[loccdor]

Hi there,

I was using my Spotmatic this week and unfortunately a screw on the side of the shutter dial popped out. Does anyone know which kind of screw this is and where I may locate a replacement? Thank you.

I've got a junker of a Spotmatic you can have. PM me.

Shutter speed dial retaining screws on the Spotmatic are 1.4mm x 5mm flathead machine screws. Available from places such as metricscrews.us if you don't have a local source.

Thanks for the generous offer, but I don't want to take your whole camera, I will order the screws.

It worked! The Spotmatic is back in order. Cheers! All three were missing, I think the last person to give it a CLA must have only put one in and it got loose over time.
