Pro tip: I just found out how many parts are in a basic SLR shutter

My old camera repair attempts usually end with me having three leftover screws and a new paperweight. Sixty parts means I'd probably lose about fifty of them on the carpet. Guess that's why my "fixed" cameras always have that extra rattle, huh?
