Well , my "new" M-1 has finally made it's eagerly awaited appearance
- always a bit nerve wracking unpacking something and all the time
hoping that you're not going to be bitterly disappointed......
Fortunately, I certainly wasn't, the only cosmetic fault being the
slight dent below the frame counter window - luckily not on the top
or end corners but a "soft" dent on a flat face which after a little
"reworking" is now all but invisible.(Being a toolmaker in an
"earlier life" has it's uses after all.!) While the top was off all
it's crappy old foam came out and the new prism (from a "parts"
OM-1n) went in - hey presto!
Even the reported sporadic wind-on lock up seems to have disappeared
on it's long (and very slow- over two weeks) journey here but it will
still be going for a full service when I can afford it (I used the
money I allocated to buy my film scanner with to get the M-1 so I'll
have to wait a while for that too, I guess (sob!)
Sorry, but just wanted to tell someone how" over the moon" I am - my
long-suffering wife gave it the"very nice, but isn't it just like the
OM-1, OM-1n etc, etc treatment" so I think it's maybe a bit wasted on
her?? So are the niceties of various electric basses, the Mercedes
G-Wagen(now that really IS something!) and any of my other "toys"!
Regards,
Andy.
