In case somebody is interested in those repair stories, here is what I found out: The two screws that hold frame counter and transport lever DO have left hand thread, there is a little ball under the film reminder thingie on the left that CAN be lost and, best of all, the flash shoe is screwed to the cover from outside, so the whole disassembly was unnecessary... and I should have known because it is the same on M bodies. It looks nice inside, though.
