Just to get it out of the way since it had been waiting for about a year, but now I've hit that comedic moment where I have two screws left over. I think it was from deep in the camera and I've soldered too many parts to want to go back inside. The time that has past has made it difficult to remember what went where and my photo notes are missing. However, much like the ME Super project... I have two of these bodies and with minor disassembly, I could piece together the reassembly. So ZX-50 or MZ-50 as in some markets will be yet another project, once I obtain a new motor. ...And what of this first ZX-50? It somewhat works, but the flash is dead and the shutter sometimes skips. That might have something to do with those two screws.
Just to list all future project in camera repair...
Agfa Super Sillette - low speed problems
Pentax Auto 110 - malfunctioned shutter
Pentax Spotmatic - light meter not working
Pentax LX #3- sticky mirror and need new bumpers
Pentax ZX-50 #2 - plastic gear on motor failed
Strobonar 400 - not charging
Pentax III Spotmeter - need battery mod
Minox PL - shutter stuck and metering is off
Speedgraphic 4x5 - new bellows needed
