Ok here is the deal. I have 2 Canon AV1 slrs (the aperture priority one) and have a couple of issues with each one and wondered what would be the easier fix. Number 1. Good condition camera with some signs of wear on the body and light tight - BUT the focusing screen has gotten heavily scratched and marked by being cleaned with some solvent at some point making focusing extremely difficult even in bright light. All other functions work perfectly. Number 2. Body in exceptional condition, barely worn. All functions work and focusing screen is crystal clear. However the shutter doesnt work when you use a remote cable screwed into the shutter release, but the shutter works if you press the button with your finger. Bit of a bummer as i wanted to do long exposures of star trails etc Also the film advance is a bit stiff but works. Im willing to cannabalise either camera to make a perfect one but which one would be the easier fix? Both are usable for general photography but they both have there drawbacks. Advice please!!
