How many broken cameras have you had?

I've lost count, but I just ran across this guy -- who had five. I have not seen the documentary yet, but I'm getting it from the library:

Broken as to they don’t work? None. Three have inoperative light meters. One has a busted motor drive. My RB67 once freezed up due to old lubricants.
But all are still doing their thing. Mostly Nikons. Take a licking and keep on clicking!

Too many.

A few consumer grade Pentax AF, those damn plastic gears in the film advance, a few Minolta S9000s, a Konica FT 1, a number of 35mm AF point and shoots, Minolta, Nikon, Canon, odd as it is my Pentax point and shoots seems to be the most reliable. One Miranda EE with a frozen film advance, stuck film advance, another with a dead meter.

The most I've ever had was one; but this was never a problem as I always had (and still do) two camera bodies that were compatible with my lenses and requirements at the time.

I'm like Dali. Too many.

I have a box of 12-18 cameras for parts. Each one was listed as "not working," but a few I've tried are fine and only need light seals.

As far as confirmed "broken" cameras, I only have 3, and two had belonged to deceased family members. I keep them for sentimental value (and may try to repair them).
