After these messages, I tried again with a K-1000 that is
actually not used and... you know what?
I was able to do the trick every time I tried :)
I tried with other bodies with variable results, I still have to
check the other K-1000s and the MX, but it is so simple now I
cannot believe it...
I hope it dosn't harm the mechanism inside, though.
