Lookie what I got

[KC1]

What a darling little camera.

Well, I tested it. Looks like braille on the negatives. I'm trying some liquid electrical tape on the first curtain, so we'll see how that goes. Worked on my old Hasselblad 1600f... Might work here. If not, it's off to YYe camera for new curtains and a CLA.

Update: Yesterday, I shredded some film in it, and some particles of film got into the escapement because I was having trouble figuring out how to get the film properly IN the camera. The camera basically acted like it was on bulb from 1/30 on down. The first curtain was SUPER laggy. Found the piece of film lodged in there, and carefully took it out and lubricated the escapement again (was still a little sticky). Got it working at 100% again. Now to wait until tomorrow to see the negatives... *impatient Mike is impatient*

One reason why I don't like Barnacks.

Well, I have some news. The negatives still had some minor braille going on. Looks like something easily fixed, though, and it was a MASSIVE improvement over the last set.
