Tim,
I'm with Chuck. That was great, and well worth saving for that "someday."
Thanks,

Thanks guys. A few other points of clarification:
- The price of seals for the FG is $16 on eBay, not $10. At that point,
it starts to become attractive to buy sheets of seal material and cut
your own. I did this because I've been doing several cameras a year.
You can buy a kit with multiple sheets of various thickness that you
cut to size as needed:

Microtools is also a really good source for other camera restoration supplies
and tools.
- When applying the new seal you have to watch because the adhesive is very
aggressive double-stick tape. One nice trick is to wet your finger
slightly and use it to moisten the exposed tape face. When you lay the
seal down, it gives you a few moments to move it around before the
moisture is absorbed/evaporates and the seal adheres permanently.
