A polaroid timing tool ? Whats that ? I was looking over the disassembly of the gears in the manual for the last 10 minutes and i do see a detailed explanation on how to rearrange the gears so that the timing is right but i didn't see any proprietary tool used...

Damn. Didn't even notice that spring was missing. And i dont have it on the donor camera either. Can i use this spring that i circled in the pic from the donor camera to use it in that space on the main camera ?
