The cams are not copper, but treated brass - the brass has a hard
coat on it. The cams will not become ruined due to age.
There are two sets of two cams (a pair on each side of the camera),
for a total of four cams.
I suggest you do not use that particular repair man.

of course, i believe you. but there is a problem. the repair man and i was talking in Chinese, though i mostly believe what he said is the 'cams', but i can not totally sure there is no any translation error happened. BTW, i remembered he said, there are two cams, one is at left and one is at right, and because cams are copper, so they ruined for age.
are you cams copper? why you say there are four and the repair man said they are two?
thanks.
