[pure-silver] Re: Help?! Minolta Autocord

I once bought a Nikon F2 from a friend.  The camera hadn't been used for
years, and when I took it to a camera repair person, he couldn't get a
reading on shutter speeds with his tester because of what he called
excessive "Tamper" (?).  I took the camera home, and played with it for a
few days; I must have clicked the shutter hundreds of times.   Later I took
the camera to Nikon, and they told me that the shutter was withing specs,
except for the 1 sec speed, and even it was not too bad, maybe off by 20%.

I guess the moral is, try using it a bit, the lubricants might soften up
and flow around a bit.
