I have the LC-A cleaned up ready to make some new light seals. The old ones had turned to sticky goo which is not good, mostly what jams the shutters on these.

Hey Yoko, posted out the Zenit today. Had to send it by Parcel Force 48 due to weight. Damn Russian cameras!

Had a look at the sack of rust. OMG, it's like a graveyard. Not sure which one you were interested in Kenzie, there is a little grey Ilford Sprite 127 (with spool), a very rough Kodak Autographic A with metal spool (I only found out yesterday what the "autographic" feature was), and the rest is a mess. The Zeiss is parts only, however the shutter actually works well. There is the top plate for a Leidolf Lordomat with a working selenium meter. Most of it is nameless. It's like the opening scene of Hellraiser, going through them all! A hulk of a Minolta Autocord with no shutter, the fascia of a Yashica TLR, a leather case for a Welmy (Six, I presume).

Yeah, about the weight of a brick! My Seagull has arrived, lack of film isn't the issue and the shutter is sticky. I have exercised it and it will fire but it is very sluggish. No idea how to get in to clean the blades.

Which Seagull did you buy?

... Ah, I think I found it on Ebay. Can you get the front off? If so, hit it with clutch cleaner!

It looks complicated....involves removing the front leatherette and some screws to get in.

I did watch that. Will do some digging on tlr repair as my greatest fear is messing up the focus. Shutter fires now but sluggish and the speed doesn't change.
