Yashica Electro 35. Soldered a wire on the circuit board. Now the yellow "long exposure" lamp works!

Thornton Pickard shutter, bought for spares/repair - now works. Shutter blinds ironed, cleaned, re-light proofed but I need to make a new release mechanisms.

Fixed my dwindling supply of film. Rolled 100 ft of apx 100 & 100 ft of Neopan 400. Both dated 2007, out of freezer, now in ref... Next, holders for the Galvin. Spring has sprung, that fixes winter.

I replaced the cord on the power supply for a Graflarger back which I have adapted to fit my B&J. Now if on Worldwide Pinhole day I use up some old 4x5 film laying around here, I may be able to enlarge it! This thing was salvaged out of a junk pile circa 1960 and I've never used it -- but it lights!

I drilled the metal case and added a ground lug and used three conductor cord, so if it runs amok, I don't light up.

It's been more than today...
but I now have the shutter on formerly Brandon's Rolleicord Type III version 2 running again

Put the camera back together only to find I should have checked the pc sync before re-assembly The whole reason for it's purchase was to have a flash capable back-up camera. Hello, Im a dumba**

It'll just have to wait 'till I'm good-n-ready. Too P.O.'d off now....re-glued the front leather and everything!

Fixed a mangled and bent shutter blade on the Elgeet 38mm telephoto lens on my Bolex H8. The blades were so screwed (and I so inexperienced) that I had already written it off as trash, but a few hours of delicate tinkering led to a fully working lens! There was a LOT of misplaced grease and I didn't quite get it all off the internal elements, but it's at least usable now.
