Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look up for the smallest diameter
terylene thread. In the meantime my friend - the MX repairman ;o) -
will try some surgical thread (inner metal thread variation). I'll
post here whatever / if it works.
Servus, Alin
If you have difficulty getting it, let me know. I'll put about 20
camera's worth in an envelope. 8-)

As it looks MX servicing is very popular on the list, here's a
question for you DIY guys: what would you use to replace the silk
thread that carries the speeds to be displayed in the viewfinder? (I
know, I know another silk thread but I have no idea where to look
for it.) The replacement thread needs to be very thin and also
resistant to wear (thinnest fishing nylon fails immediately, for
instance). Any suggestion is most welcomed.
