I recently purchased a pre-55 Pacemaker Speed, and the front cover catch didn't "catch" - it would pop open at inopportune times.

I took a closer look, and found that one of the screws (left side) is missing - it holds the sliding "front cover release button extension piece" to the body. The "piece" was slightly bent. So, I straightened it, moved the screw from the right side to the left side (figuring the left side was taking more of the bearing load than the right), and now the cover catches ok.

ASCII DRAWING OF "BUTTON EXTENSION PIECE"

^ tang for spring
^ screw hole (typ 2 plcs)

But I would like to replace the missing parts: one screw, lock & flat washers, and the stepped washer which goes between the case and the "piece".

Does anyone have a "parts camera" who would be willing to part with this hardware? Or know who might? Or know the proper term for the "front cover release button extension piece"?

Thanks for you patience!
Dave
