So I read an Autoweek article by a guy who goes around to junkyards, looking for parts and also carries a "vintage" camera of some sort to shoot photos of said junk. The latest camera is a Kodak Pony 828, he had to "hand roll" some B&W film onto a spool with paper backing from outdated 828 K'chrome he bought(!) to do the task. No easy thing, I speak from experience.
Anyway, I decided to have a look at my Pony 135 "shelf dweller" and clean it up a bit. Found the shutter is sticking open. Not about to dig into it, but had a look inside the thing. Apparently I'd given it a CLA in February of 1972! My initials and date scratched inside. Only vaguely recall doing it. Must have been a slow February day!! And much steadier hands...
