I was just thinking the insides of cameras these days look more like transistor radios .
This one is over 15 years old....

I knew that, it was the camera I was referring toThank you, but it's the camera, not me!:confused:
Good luck with the repair! This must have been the most advanced mf camera of its time. Once I'll get one for myself.
My friend the Yashica/Kyocera repair guy says the original RTS (the RTS I) is a mess as far as the electronics go and they're mostly unrepairable today. Not so with the others, though I waited 7 years before he found the right spot to send my RTS III in Japan for repair. They had to replace the internal displays in mine to get it operational again. Works great now. He says the RTS II is an RTS I with better internal electronics design inside.
I have an RTS and an RTSII. Got the feeling I have to try a III someday. What a fun repair job. Good luck.
Richard-
the next time I get out to SF, I can bring my RTS III along if you want to play with one for an afternoon.
Back in my mid-20's I worked at very fine high class restaurant as a waiter. One evening a regular customer brought in a whole slew of wines for his wife's 40th anniversary party of 8 and he let me try a couple of the most amazing wines that ever existed. We're talking classic Bordeaux and Burgundy wines from the 20s and 30s and a few aged champagnes from the 50s and 60s. I tried them and yes they were phenomenal. He asked me what I thought. I told him I didn't know whether to thank him or curse him. Before this I tried some pretty good wines but now that I tried the very best that ever existed what I previously thought were good wines before would now drop on my personal scale from an eight or a nine out of the 10 down to a five or a six out of 10 and I don't know whether I will ever be happy with wine again or will ever taste wines as good! Nonetheless it was a pleasant experience. That said I will certainly take up your offer the next time you're out this way, please contact me at the very least a cuppa coffee and a beer with a fellow enthusiast would be fun and holding onto a RTSIII and playing with it I'll do my best to hold off on having to get one. Even though I may not think so highly of my RTS and RTSII afterwards!
