Henrik,
If you remember, you sent me a 35RC a few months ago as a parts camera, free
of charge, as I needed a self-timer lever. I looked it over and decided it
was too good to junk. Instead of taking the self timer lever from it, I
fixed it up and it seems to work as good as new. So I am still short a
self-timer lever for another one I have.
The one you sent had several problems. The winder dial had come loose and
needed to be reattached, the reset button for the winder dial was sticking,
and another part had come out of its place, the self timer was stuck, the
strap lug on the winder side was loose, the screw in the self-timer lever
was messed up by someone who apparently thought it was normal threaded, the
rangefinder window needed cleaning, the foam needed replacing, I had to make
an adjustment to one of the needle indicators, and a couple other things I
can't remember. Anyways I have fixed those things, and replaced the screw. I
cannot guarantee the accuracy of the shutter speeds, but everything else
works fine and agrees with my other cameras (auto aperture readings, actual
aperture sizes, rangefinder, etc.). Send me your address, and I will send
it back to you, free of charge. But I am keeping the generic hand-strap that
came on it, as it is so much better than the original ones that are way too
stiff. :-)
If you cannot return your recent epay buy, I still need a selftimer lever.
Wayne
