Canon T2. Finally got a smaller elan7ne with great build quality and functions!
Not to mention the final film camera that canon ever made.

Perhaps you can make your own pressure plate based on the P.P. of the Kodak, with brass which you can de-edge with with micro 3M abrasives and blacken it chemically.
Mounting springs could be made of broken bandsaw blade material thinner to size on a multi face, diamond block, if you do no already have donor parts for this piece.
I'm much more likely to try to 3D print one -- this is paper-backed film, so scratching isn't a big deal, and 3D printed parts are easily replaced if/when they wear. I don't have space at present to attempt something like this in metal. The springs are there inside the back, I just need correctly sized/positioned mounting pins on the pressure plate to slip into the slots. The main issue I have is that with the original missing, I don't have the dimensions of the original pressure plate (I ought to be able to measure against the frame gate to get close enough).
BTW, if I need leaf spring stock, I'll dig around at work -- the warehouse gets hundreds of pallets a week with steel strapping securing the product, strapping that otherwise just goes in recycling. Take along a pair of snips, nip off a foot (or a couple pieces that size), and good to go. I used this material to repair a broken part in my Mosin Nagant rifle several years ago, works great. Springy, enough carbon to harden some, and free.
I am waiting for the delivery of my third Nikkormat EL. It's a chrome body with a 50/2 Nikkor HC.
Cheers; would a simple plastic, un-embossed gift card fit the bill or could it be built upon by your printer?
But its circuitry must've simply been asleep as I kept at it and did get it to fire... it then "rested" a few second before it would fire again, rested a bit more, then was able to fully function on both "C" and "S."
Will stop at 10
Picked up a Canon Motor Drive MF for my (relatively recently) acquired Canon F-1. Guy I got it from said he hadn't used it in the past 10 years. When I first tried to fire it up, no joy. But its circuitry must've simply been asleep as I kept at it and did get it to fire... it then "rested" a few second before it would fire again, rested a bit more, then was able to fully function on both "C" and "S."
I have the Canon Power Winder MF, and I had the same problem when I first bought it, I put some new alkaline batteries in it, and kept turning it on until it started to work reliably. I've had it about three years now, and it's been O.K since.
Good to know! The seller didn’t include the manual, but is sending it. The camera came in a minty case with “Pentax” embroidered in red on the front. I’ll keep it in that. Glad you think highly of the camera. I have a feeling I’m going to really like it.Nice, I have one, nice camera, the operating manual says when driving keep it on a pillow so as not jolt it. I just keep mine in a padded case, I still avoid banging it around. Lens is very crisp.
Thank you!Pending your print copy, here is a link to the online manual.
