<p>Many thanks for your response Mr. Plumpton,<br> I just have a few shots left on a couple of rolls I've been shooting...<br> At first I thought that the rangefinder was not working, but I can see it quite well when outdoors.<br> I'll post when I make a decision on what to do after I see the prints...<br> Many, many thanks to those who have responded...<br> James Schaffner<br> Butler, PA</p> <p> </p>

<p>Many thanks for your opinions...</p> <p>I'm going to shoot a couple rolls of film with a cable release and a light meter and use the scale to focus just to make sure everything is working.</p> <p>I'll post back with the results and maybe a few photos...</p> <p>Thanks again....</p> <p>Jim Schaffner<br> Butler, PA 16001 USA</p>

<p>I just received a free Makina 67...<br> It has the problem with the winder...it advances the film and with film loaded, the shutter works with a cable release, but not the button.<br> The light meter doesn't work and the batteries heat up...I'm assuming a short in the circuit.<br> Also, I don't think the rangefinder/focusing works either as I can see no image to match through the viewfinder.<br> As I paid nothing for the camera and they seem to sell in the $1000 range when working properly, I'm asking for opinions on whether or not it is worth repairing.<br> Many thanks in advance,<br> Jim Schaffner<br> Butler, PA 16001 USA</p> <p> </p>
