What did you fix today?

Developed and fixed a couple of contact sheets, then drilled and mounted a retaining ring on a Plaubel lens board to take a Kodak 305mm Portrait Lens in a No 5 Universal Shutter.

i fixed some vittles
and i am fixin' to saw a big log ..

 

Fixed a cashflow problem.

 

A roll of outdated TMax100 in 120.

 

Installed new front disk rotors and pads to my VW Passat.

 

Installed new 'gas pumps' (I do not know the right name in English, do you?) holding up the back door of my Volvo station-wagon, fixing the problem of 'the dropping trapdoor'.
The other thing I recently fixed was a d***l issue, but not of any importance here...

Freed up a shutter from a ~1937 Rolleicord. B doesn't work yet, and the aperture ring adjuster thing is out of adjustment, but I'll dive back in sometime today.

 

I took out my spanner wrench and disassembled an old zoom lens. Cleaned all the elements, lubricated the moving parts and reassembled it. Just like brand new after 25 years.

 

Polaroid 600SE for a friend.
Just needed some parts glued on the back.

 

Reminds me of a line from the 'Family Guy' episode with 'The Fast Talking High Trousers' clip.

Well maybe I'm through supposin' and I'm fixin' to start figurin'

Yashica Electro 35. Soldered a wire on the circuit board. Now the yellow "long exposure" lamp works!

 

Thornton Pickard shutter, bought for spares/repair - now works. Shutter blinds ironed, cleaned, re-light proofed but I need to make a new release mechanisms.

Fixed my dwindling supply of film. Rolled 100 ft of apx 100 & 100 ft of Neopan 400. Both dated 2007, out of freezer, now in ref... Next, holders for the Galvin. Spring has sprung, that fixes winter.

 

My last five sheets of Forte polywarmtone-------I'm sooooo depressed

 

I replaced the cord on the power supply for a Graflarger back which I have adapted to fit my B&J. Now if on Worldwide Pinhole day I use up some old 4x5 film laying around here, I may be able to enlarge it! This thing was salvaged out of a junk pile circa 1960 and I've never used it -- but it lights!

I drilled the metal case and added a ground lug and used three conductor cord, so if it runs amok, I don't light up.

It's been more than today...

but I now have the shutter on formerly Brandon's Rolleicord Type III version 2 running again

Put the camera back together only to find I should have checked the pc sync before re-assembly :rolleyes: The whole reason for it's purchase was to have a flash capable back-up camera. Hello, Im a dumba**

It'll just have to wait 'till I'm good-n-ready. Too P.O.'d off now....re-glued the front leather and everything!

Fixed a mangled and bent shutter blade on the Elgeet 38mm telephoto lens on my Bolex H8. The blades were so screwed (and I so inexperienced) that I had already written it off as trash, but a few hours of delicate tinkering led to a fully working lens! There was a LOT of misplaced grease and I didn't quite get it all off the internal elements, but it's at least usable now.

 

Lost my cell phone,now I reckon I'am fix'un to get anuther one. nice for a while any ways.

 

My water temp controller, needed a new o-ring after 17 years of use, not bad.

 

My daughters car. She hit a pothole so i had to replace 2 tires and 1 rim.

 

Better go fix the pothole

 

I fixed the Alphax shutter on a Wollensack 14" Apo Raptar lens, then I affixed the lens to a lensboard, and shot a test negative.
