<p>Thanks for the assistance! I couldn't even begin to identify the piece by name, so needless to say, you've been lots of help. Let me know if you happen to find that, Matthew. Little did I know, losing my old Kodak Flash Bantam wasn't as problematic as losing my flash adapter. :/</p>

<p>Hello all,<br> Up until recently, I had a small metal adapter that locked into the grooves of a flash post on any of my old manual flash cameras (pre PC sync) and allowed me to plug my PC compatible electronic flash into the camera. As it just so happens, I lost this adapter, and I have been unable to track down anything like it, or even find information of any kind about it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd like to be able to use electronic flash on my old Kodaks again.<br> Best,<br> Jose</p><div></div>

<p>Quick question to whomever may know what's going on: I recently had a few conversion adapters that allow you to shoot 120 on a 616 camera 3D printed that I could be able to use a few of my old Kodak folders. They do seem to work and shoot just fine, but for whatever reason, the exposures seem to be overlapping one another, and otherwise, double exposed. I did find it suspect that I was able to reach exposure 16 on the roll with both my Brownie 2a and Vigilant Six-16, and low and behold, when I developed my exposure, the images were all haywire. Anyone know what might be the cause of this? My hunch is that the numbering on the backing paper doesn't quite correlate to the size of the exposure the camera is capable of rendering. Just wanted some input.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys. I plan on making the repair as soon as I get a free minute. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.</p>

<p>Hey guys,<br /> I just purchased one of these puppies on eBay, and found the aperture blades to be unresponsive when I slide the toggle down to any of the f-stops, which leads me to believe that they're stuck or disengaged. Also, the 1/50 speed on this unit does not fire the shutter, while the other speeds seem to be responsive to firing. That particular speed setting only yields a click, but no firing on the shutter. This camera is equipped with the older pre-WWI ball bearing shutter, which is quite simple, from what I understand. I have no real experience making a repair on a shutter, so I was hoping to get some advice on how best to proceed in making this repair, should it be possible for a novice to do. Any input would be appreciated!</p>
