Silver lining, Nikkormat FTns are a dime a dozen and there’s probably a minimum of 5 of them within a 20 mile radius of you.

@Vintageboy2000 I've worked on a WM-2 before, absolutely a pain to desolder that board. I am definitely gonna sit on it for a while until my friend is willing to buy the proper replacement reel gears for it
pinch roller is also cooked though I have the correct replacement size somewhere
