Oh, golly, that's a long trip. Do you have any tools or instruments
to work on it? If so I may be able to guide you. The drift may just be
inherent in the design. Have you done any sort of web search to find out
if anyone has encountered this before? Meanwhile I will see if I can
find an instruction book.

DEAR RICHARD,
I was happy to hear that you restore vacuum tube radios! I also know that you are a radio amateur and I think I told you that I am AA2CV and 8P6FF. I have an old Knight Kit T-150 transmitter that is in need of restoration. Remembering that I am retired and would have to arrange international shipping just to get the radio to you, can you give me a hint of how many $Million you might charge to "CLA" (LOL!!!) the T-150. One of its major problems was frequency drift.
CHEERS!
BOB

I can understand the need for the extremely high performance digital camera by someone working in the top end of commercial photography these days. This camera with a couple of lenses, is on the order of $80,000. If it earns its keep its justifiable and maybe, from a competitive standpoint, necessary. If one assumes a factor of about 10 times to figure equivalent prices c.1950 it would still have been very expensive.
I also like "wet" or chemical photography, I enjoy it but understand the advantages of working electronically. I long ago decided commercial/professional photography was no fun but after thirty years in television came to the same conclusion about that too. Advanced technology sometimes has peculiar side effects.
BTW, another hobby is restoring vacuum tube radios. I can do that as a hobby but much current stuff is either not repairable at all (toss it and buy a new one) or has to be sent back to the factory.

Hi,
I shoot all analog, even trips. I just like the chemicals! As a kid
I had a Gilbert kid's chemistry set. Like all kids, the first thing I
did was make gunpowder and blow up cans. I suppose nowadays
kid's chemistry sets are toned down. I get enough digital just
living.

Yeah, there's no question that if my livelihood depended on
photography,
I'd be shooting high end digital. The economics of immediate
feedback
and relatively easy corrective action make it the only real
game in town.
