These 3 tiny screws were glued, that's why they are difficult to unscrew. Moreover, Pentax also put a little glue on the left side of the metal frame so it won't fall off. To remove the metal frame, you only need to remove 2 tiny screws, and the frame can be pulled down. > I will let him know that he should not go any further - I wouldn't > like him to do any major damage to his camera and later blame it > on me enabling him with newer screens <g>, he is working in a > major photo store and I don't want to lose him (not counting that > I wouldn't like to break a friendship). Unfortunately, even if he managed to remove the original screen and the metal frame from the Super A/program, he still had a long way to go (file the C74 screen evenly, remove the old screen without damage it (quite impossible imo), and then glue the C74 back on (with contact cement), put everything back, and final calibration on focus). regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
