Manuel,
Once you've completed this project you'll start seeing it as a learning
experience.
Reminds me of the corroded battery lead in an OM-1 that I --foolisly--
decided to replace. Once I started it, I found out I had to totally separate
the front body half of the rear, to my regret.
I learnt the valuable lesson that has been taught on this list many times
before:If it aint broken don't fix it!
'though I know the rule, it doesn't mean that I necessarily have to live by
it :)
good luck,
Bart
