Guys,
I'll give it a go. The camera is in mint condition, and was my fathers. So I want to keep it alive as long as possible.
I can still rewind the film without the rewind lever attached, it will just take a little longer... But then again, I'm not a war-photographer, and use a roll of film over a period of months, so I think I will be good with a little extra work, changing the films. If it works it works, I'm gonna try it out.
Thanks guys.
