Michael; I keep forgetting that fishing has moved into the kevlar age. I purchased my reel of braided line about 12 years ago and because it worked and there is plenty, have not looked for anything else. I guess Canon would use kevlar line instead of tungsten, if they were designing the AE-1 today. Pedro; Tungsten wire physically transmits the rotation of the ASA dial to the metering unit and rest of camera mechanism.Camera will not meter if this wire not in place. There is a ball clutch/drive at bottom of wind shaft. Your description of turning camera upside down could mean that the balls are loose - due to wear or lack of lube and this is the cause of the jam. This unit is same in all A Series, well there may be material spec differences. |
