Final report. Rather than risk damaging the DOF lever, I put a piece of
small clear plastic tubing over the end of it. Although a fairly secure
fit already, I secured it with a dab of superglue. With help from Mark
and a couple hours fooling around with the mechanism, I have beautiful,
fully functional 85/2 MC with one small cosmetic flaw for $165 including
shipping!

Hey Mark, the scan is perfect. I can see that my DOF lever is indeed
bent a little, putting the end about 4+ mm from the diaphragm coupling
lever. I'll figure out how to gently bend it back
I've copied the .jpg, so you can take it off your web site.
Thanks again for the special effort to help,
Moose

The DOF lever should be within 1-2mm of the diaphragm coupling lever. I
pulled my mount off and scanned it as best I could on my flatbed
scanner.
You can see what it should look like here:
