<p>Thanks for that. Just what I needed to try to make one good EF from 2 faulty ones. <br> Word of warning, it doesn't tell you about a tiny ball bearing under the shutter speed cog. Luckily I found it in the carpet. <br> My issue now is the shutter speed dial won't mesh with it's cog.</p>

<p>Evening all. <br> I've finally picked up a Black Beauty, although a very battered example. The prism housing has taken a heavy fall. I thought it was worth punt for the 50mm 1:1.4 SSC. <br> #372023, Q831. <br> I thought the electrics were dead when I got it, but playing with it tonight & the battery check started flashing. Checked the meter & it appears to be working as well. <br> The only issue is the on switch won't stay on. Is this fixable? <br> Cheers, JB</p>
