Zombie cameras rise again

<p>What is the dustiest camera you have ever found? Or, this is what happens when you go digital. Not to worry. The old Walz Envoy 35 is shiny again.</p>

<p>Wow! Having now seen the "before" picture, I'd love to see the "after" picture of the camera with its new, shiny finish.</p>

<p>Right on, Andy. We need to see the shiny version. I'll bet it's a big improvement. And if it<br>

still works post some of the photos it takes.</p>

<p>That <em>really</em> is a little grubby. At least it looks mainly like dust; I was once given a Retinette that had been stored in a garden shed and swallows had nested above it...It was past redemption, I'm afraid. Nice camera, <strong>Tom</strong>, and I'd likewise be interesting in both seeing it all shiny and seeing some images from it.</p>

I was going to suggest this Walz Envoy looks quite a lot like the cameras a certain Rick finds on a regular basis, but now you tell us, Rick, that sometimes you happen to find cameras that do not look like they were made yesterday?<br>;-)<br>Maybe you too could posts some pictures of the state the cameras are in when you find them, Rick. Everyone here should. Would be fun.

<p>Looks like sawdust. My cousin used to have that stuff floating on his coffee, and when he drank it he said, "you gotta really love wood".</p>

<p>Now that's what they describe on Ebay as "minty"!</p>

<p>Yeah, the Seller's name is CAMERASELLER, and his auctions always say, "I don't know much about cameras, but it looks okay. Needs cleaning" There's a guy like that who has been selling cameras for over 10 years, but he doesn't know much about cameras. Or the auction says, "Good for Student". </p>

<p>Looks like it came straight from the sawmill o_O</p>

<p>Here's my last two fixer-uppers. <br>

The Filmo had a lot of oxidation and rust (still visible on the turret in this photo) inside the shutter and the speed selector dial was rusted stuck. <br>

The Kodak 35 was missing a part of the viewfinder and was very dusty when I got it. </p>

<p>Both work fine now. :)</p>

<p>Probably my Minolta Hi-Matic E... Long time ago I posted a review with this picture.. I repaired and cleaned the camera. E was delivering excellent pictures, it was hard to believe and I have to say it made me proud... <br />Here is Before & After picture:</p><div></div>
