Aw, come on now, where's your scientific curiosity?

We might be on the verge of discovering a time related degradation in this entire class of cameras! And it's possible it could be fixed by a tiny dab of black goo. I've had mine for nearly fifty years, since new. If it was acting up, I'd want to try fixing it.

(Truth be told, if my C3 expired I would let it be a sleeping brick, as I have three Canon SLR bodies and an assortment of FD lenses for my 35mm needs.)

I bought my used C3 in 1952 and like you moved to small format Canon FD stuff in the early 70's. The C3 is on the shelf now but still operational after many rolls of Kodachrome.

I see many C3's at garage sales that look perfect and sell for a few dollars. Hard to resist. Regards.
