danac Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I have a friend that needs one of these for his A-1. Does anyone here either have one or know where he could get a working unit? A book's a great place to hide out in - Trevanian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danac Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 My friend is a collector of cameras. I'm thinking about sending his A-1 off to Ken Oikawa. He's not very well off so I will pay for the refurb in a trade for something of his. The camera is cosmetically beautiful but needs light seals and possible adjustments as well. This may not work as he is loathe to part with anything in his collection. A book's a great place to hide out in - Trevanian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in about 2018 after sitting around a while that it started hanging up. My remedy --- New battery. Crank, fire. Crank, fire. Crank, fire. Crank, fire... It's still working great.
