No way of testing those as well?
These people are in my backyard, assuming its Annapolis, Maryland.

Stan The main control dial was working, I was turning it to check the lower shutter speeds and look at the sensor and like I said it clicked a few times and then it felt like it was unscrewing! It does sit ok, but you can pull it ...
