Sorry, to disagree on a couple of points:
1. I've had both open and the camera is more complicated than either an
automatic or a manual transmission.
2. The folks with the repair know-how are constantly sharing it with us.
Why not try to open the camera and fix it. Something as simple as a loose
mechanical part should be easy. BTW, I have one in a box downstairs that
I bought to take apart and put back together. I did get it apart...

Perhaps we're assuming that this is brain surgery and no one has delicate
tools.
I actually think an auto transmission is far more complicated than a
camera's
internals aside from
the ICs which no repairperson can fix anyway.
And tightening a hot shoe may be a relatively simple task--but those repair
people on this list
have no interest to share this information for obvious reasons.
The reluctance to share this type of mechanical info doesn't extend to my
ham
radio lists, fortunately.
I'll drop my inquiry.
Thanks,
Jeffrey
