Picked this up on ebay:
Nikon FE by Peeb-USA, on Flickr
Everything seems to work, and I expected to need to replace the foam light seals, but the door has a little 'play' in it. Hinge seems fine and the door seems straight. I've tossed in a roll to take test shots, so I can't give inside shots but when you push 'in' on the closed and clicked camera back, it 'gives' about an eighth of an inch.
BTW, the film rewind knob is 'sprung' and does not stay fixed when pushed in (which apparently is a common issue for this class of camera) but the door does close with a 'click' and stays closed- it just has some 'wiggle'.
Anybody seen this?
In any event, it's great fun to have an old school Nikon film camera back in the fold.
