I suspect that you used the camera to pound
tenpenny nails into teak! <he grins> Harry
adjusted your linkage to make it work
properly. You just need to have the linkage
readjusted. Or get a new cell from Krikor: these are plug-in replacements.
I will not own a camera which is not fully functional.
F&H, incidentally, did have complaints from
combat photographers and the like in the 1950's
over the fragile linkage, so they sold a retrofit
blanking plate to replace the light cell for
those folks taking their cameras into harm's
way. I once owned a couple of these NIB until
Raw Greed caused me to sell mine ... (Bought
three for $5 as a lot at a camera show and sold
them for $75 each a couple of years later. Just one of those things ... )
