I fixed the Alphax shutter on a Wollensack 14" Apo Raptar lens, then I affixed the lens to a lensboard, and shot a test negative.

By now most of my equipment is pretty scared of me; the stuff does not dare break down again

Although yesterday I did fix the CD player in the darkroom. Its rubber suspension dampers on the drive mechanism became soft, thus allowing malignant sympathetic oscillations which caused massive skipping. Some hard rubber bushings fixed it.

Have finished installing a Graflok back on my Busch Pressman, installing a Graphic strap to replace the original strap and replaced the viewfinders on top with three flash (accessory) shoes.

Now working on adding a scale for my 90/8 Nikon and fabricating a scale for my 240/9 Fujinon-A.

Next up for the camera - installing a ground glass in an old Graphic filmpack holder and attaching a Cambo reflex finder to it.

Have to many non-photography things to fix before I can fix any new film. Replaced a drive hub on one of our cars yesterday. Upon inspection realized I need to replace both outer tie rods, so that will take up some of today as well as replacing/fixing a light fixture in the house. Then after those projects are done I hope to get into the darkroom and process about 1 dozen rolls of 120 film that has been on the shelf for about a 2 weeks.

I have a lack of space in my camera bag. I started fixing that problem last night when I put my Canon Rebel XTi on Ebay
