Initial notes;

• batteries take a charge and camera turns on with batteries.

• Viewfinder has a lot of static. Only shows white, blue, and black lines with no discernible image.

• Body itself is in good condition. No chips, dents, or visible damage.

• Missing diopter. Needs a replacement.

• Cassette both ejects and recognizes that a new cassette has been inserted.

Next steps:

• replace the capacitors on the board to fix the viewfinder.

• Clean any old hardware.

This is a way to showcase the work that goes into finding, repairing, cleaning, and then selling the cameras we repair here at The Celluloid Chronicles.

Replacement parts and cost:

• new capacitors - $1 per capacitor replaced.

• Diopter - not sourced yet
