Electro G - Mint - Why Me?

[ARCHIVIST]

I just bought an Electro 35 G off Ebay Australia - AUD$37 - approx US$30.

The description read as though it was in average, and perhaps not working, condition. Ideal I thought to practice POD repairs before I attempt them on my pristine Electro 35 GSN. When it arrived it was in excellent cosmetic and working condition - no faults except for a little dust.

Yes I am lucky but I still do not have an old 'banger' to practice on. Do any of you fellow Yashica enthusiasts have an old rough Electro that you would be willing to sell? It does not have to work or be able to get working again.Someone in Australia would be better for postage reasons but will consider all offers, if any.

Please PM me.

Regards
Peter

A hard wall and a little elbow grease might do the trick, and be cheaper to boot 😉

Thank you schmoozit.
Deep and meaningful.

You might want to pull the top and check the POD. If it is a white color, or the color of mollases, it needs replaced anyway.

Oi! I had one with a very fungussy lens and poor times that disappeared into the ether of my classroom a month ago. If it turns up it's yours. I'll take a look around tomorrow.

Thank you sepiareverb and greyhoundman.

Good information and the possibility of a camera - great!

BTW sepiareverb how did you like the pdf on archival processing?
