[QUOTE="dieselnutjob, post: 720067, member: 47318"] I started rebuilding the lens, and then had to stop and take it to bits again. One of my cogs was binding; the hole wasn't perfectly in the centre (maybe 1/2 mm off) an as it span there was a "high spot" which would bind with the other cog. I had to unsolder it, elongate the hole, and resolder it this time getting the shaft (as far as I can tell) exactly in the centre. Anyway it's now re-assembled and works really nicely. I took some photos as I went. Maybe someone else will find them useful.
