Hey there. Just bought a second hand Pentax p39n from the flea market and only home i realised i has a problem. The rewind knob doesn't have the little 2 feet that fit in the film role. Any idea on how to fix that? I don't know if i can find another pice somewhere, and i think i need to improvise on this. I was thinking if i'll remake those little feet from paper clips fixed in that plastic by heating them.. and at the end of them i'll just bend them a little enough to activate the lever to open the back door? What do you say? Any other ideas on fixing it?

Is it entirely made from plastic? If so, maybe you saw it off, do the same to a donor part from a second camera, and substitute one for the other (super glue).

....yes, it's all fantastic plastic... and i do have other film cameras (non pentax).. but the poles are thicker than pentaxes and frankly i don't want to damage the others..
