Stereo Realist Lens Cover Springs (clips)
Offered here for sale are NEW replacement lens covers springs (clips) for the Stereo Realist
To install a lens cover you need a lens cover and two clips.
The lens covers are $15.
To install the replacement cover, follow these simple instructions, courtesy of DrT:
Set the shutter speed dial to 1 second.
Remove the shutter speed bakelite assembly by removing the 4 screws that hold it in place (picture on the left, one screw is circled).
With the shutter speed assembly removed, place the lens cover over it so that the tabs in the cover match the openings in the shutter assembly (circled in 2nd picture, the clips will go inside these openings).
Place one spring inside the opening and using the tip of a pair of pliers, press it towards the center. You should hear a click. This means that the spring is in place. Open the cover to make sure everything is ok. Caution: CAUTION -> OPEN THE COVER CAREFULLY SO YOU DON'T BREAK THE SHUTTER DIAL <- CAUTION. Repeat for the other spring.
With the cover installed, set the shutter speed dial to 1 sec and place shutter dial assembly in place and tighten with 4 screws.
