Well, it seems I've found the problem. The focus lens has a threaded brass insert which engages with the focusing leadscrew, and the thread in the brass is worn out, with the result that the focus motor is unable to move the focus lens against the retaining spring. So unless I could find a friendly amateur watch maker to make me a new brass thingy or a camera with a different fatal error to cannibalise, this would seem to be the end of the road. And I can put off the vexing question of which colour nail varnish to get Thank you for suggestions, one and all. I've leant a lot.Regards - Philip
