I teach film photography at a high school, and we blow through cameras. We get so many donated to us and a few years ago we bought a whole new set, but out of 60+ students we probably only have about 20 working cameras.
To avoid mounting repair/shipping costs (since no one in the area seems to repair them anymore) - how on earth do people learn how to fix them? I'd really love to have a more active working knowledge of how all the parts work together. Is it just pulling them apart and fiddling around?
For more immediate repair, I have one camera - a Promaster 2500 PK Super - that the light meter is always on overexpose. No matter what. I tried changing the batteries, to no avail. Suggestions?
