I recently got my hands on a #Kodak #Brownie #Target #Six-20 to replace the one I lost when I moved from NYC. This "new" one is in pretty good shape, but needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance that requires me to remove the faceplate. While some models of this camera had the faceplate secured with teeny tiny screws, the model I have has it secured with these minuscule "bolts" whose heads are so small, they're almost flush with the surface of the camera. I've tried needle nose pliers and a set of tweezers, and neither has worked. The tweezers were small enough but not enough torque. The pliers aren't fine enough to get a good grip on them. So now I'm curious about what my next steps are... Has anyone else run into this and found a workaround? I know this is a long shot, but what the heck! #VintageCameras

    @izzyamar@beige.party Looks like other are using needle nose also. You would think there would be some tiny ratchet head or wrench somewhere?
