Just finished repairing my Pen D that was skipping frames, and it seems that I was successful! Did not end up with any extra parts, only one scratch in the camera and a tiny wound in my thumb... Possibly something that most of you could have done, but I'm just really happy I could too.

Only thing that still puzzles me is how a tiny fly managed to find its way inside the camera :p
 
Congratulations. I've found the Pens in general and the D range in particular to be pretty nice cameras to work on.
 
Congratulations. It's always nice when it works out. I'm having a problem with my FT QL occasionally skipping a frame too, so I'd better ck for flies. Of course, this being Florida, the fly would probably be big enough to just club me w/ the camera and fly away with it, so maybe I'll leave things as they are.
 
Didn't stop there - just finished readjusting the rangefinder on a Mess Ikonta. Misaligned both horizontally and vertically...
