I think this group can appreciate this ...

Hi, Y'all!

I had "One a them Days" yesterday, so I blew-off work today.
What am I doing to "relax"?

A complete over-haul of a "Kodak 35" RF camera from around 1940...
Just got the shutter leaves re-installed and decided to take a lunch break. Hands were getting shakey...

2. Now that'd be something, wouldn't it?

Or a digital insert. Put the CCD in the film plane and the guts in the in the places the film would go.

You'd have to have a flexible connection between the guts and the CCD because not every camera has the same disitance betwixt gate and cannister...

Got it finished. All put back together and it cocks, winds film, and the shutter releases, The lenses cleaned up OK, too.
