I'd like to share my story on the Kodak Retina Ia that a close friend/buddy gave me. The shutter button just didn't feel right and the advance lever won't advance. After opening the top cover and closely inspecting, I noticed the parts were not assembled correctly. A part that was supposed to go one place went to another random place, which highly affected the operation of the camera. Not just in one case but a couple. It's obvious that someone worked on this camera just by looking at the screw heads, which looked like someone used a wrong pair of screwdriver. The right tools would go a long way, it's a one-time investment but it'll make your cameras look like it's never been worked on before. And please, when working on a not-so-familiar camera, document the placement of the parts. Help preserve classic cameras. |
