I went to look at mine and found it still has a half-exposed roll of film… fortunately, I realized it before opening the back rather than after, but it doesn't help your question. The googles (actually, DuckDuckGo) led me to several places where you can trade US$5 for a download of the service manual if you need it. I haven't been shooting much 35 mm for a while, but this was my first SLR (high school graduation present) and has always worked well for me. For the small package and reasonable cost, it had some advanced features for that day including OTF flash metering. I hope yours returns to full health quickly. --Kurt On 23 Jun 2014, at 14:08 , Janet Cull <janetgcull@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thank you.
