I have acquired a like new in box Chinon 4000GL. One catch though. My brother in law tried to clean it and removed anything that was glass and couldn't figure out how to put it back together. It was only used twice. I cannot seem to find a parts breakdown to figure out how to put all the pieces back together properly. I have a good idea by looking at signs on the parts like wear marks..etc. One part I definitely can't figure out is a small piece of flexible rubber with a square hole in it. If I can find some pics or a parts diagram it would be helpful but, I have googled my butt off before asking here. Thank you in advance.

Sorry I don't have any pics that would be helpful, but a word of advice anyway. Start by kicking your brother-in-law in the butt and don't let him touch anything of yours ever again! [Big Grin]

Whenever I take something apart that I am not very familiar with, or have diagrams of, I take close up digital pics of everything. It has saved my butt and poor memory many times. Good luck.
