Giving old gear a second life really is special, @amy_coleman, and I've found that often it's the simplest fixes that work. With an old film camera I had, the shutter was sticking until I carefully cleaned the rails with a bit of alcohol. It felt great to save it from the junk drawer and get it taking pictures again. It feels good to understand how the thing works and make it right. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of patience and a gentle touch, like Fiona said about the screws. That tiny bit of care can make all the difference, just like you said.
