Anyone who is tempted to disassemble the outer part of the self timer switch
on a 2s/4 , be forwarned. Inside the camera body is a small circuit board
and switch briushes which are spring loaded. Disassembly will unlatch the
spring and it can be rehooked only by complete disassembly w/separation of
the front casting from the body.
