Richard Haw's Classic Nikon Repair and Review

Hello, everybody! Have you ever been in a situation where you thought you have gotten a good deal but you just realized that you have been screwed? Life is mostly fair, you do not win all the time, nor should you lose all the way. There is always something for you at the end, good or bad. That is just the nature of things and is the natural order of the universe. My readers know that I do not win all the time in my camera repair adventure, sometimes my projects don’t go as smoothly as expected due to defects or because of some idiot getting to the camera before me. Today, I will show you what I meant by that but you must read the article carefully in order to know exactly why.

Introduction:

We’ve talked about our Gucci-wearing broke friend that is the Hansa Canon in the previous article. It is interesting to see what is inside of such a rare camera and even more interesting to for us is the workmanship. One can see that everything did indeed began in a small workshop but that should not excuse the level of crudeness at all. A humble beginning should not mean sloppy. We shall see more of the interior of this camera in this article.

This is just the beginning! If you have been repairing cameras for a while then you should know what I am talking about. Usually, this is as far as I will go if the camera is still clean but this one had some of the nastiest gunk I have ever seen in an old camera.
