K-50 Shutter aperture fix...

I just followed this link and fixed my K-50 that I gave to my daughter.

Since my daughter is not that interested in it I might sell it now without any scruple and with only 1300 actuation!

I didn't reduce the ends of the 'horse shoe' bit like in the video though. I only gave a good filing to all the sharp edges all round and smoothed them with very fine sandpaper.

Not difficult!

All works nicely now...very happy!
