I purchased a canon AE-1 from ebay...he said it had worked great but just has
not used it in many years. while trying it out..I feel like the winder is
sticking somewhat..all the pictures if they take turn out very fuzzy. Is there
a way to oil or clean these old cameras? I am wanting to take a photography
class in the fall. Can you
suggest anything?

Hi Linda: A camera like that can be serviced, but with the selling prices of used 35mm SLRs being as low as they are now, the cost of service is likely to be substantially more than the cost of another similar camera. Is there any chance of sending the camera back to the seller and starting over?
