I'm going to put a roll of film through this, too. Late forties Balda Werk "Baldini". Just adjusted it all up. The grin here- it's got a shoe on top, just stuck my 1980's Sears 007 flash into it, hooked the wire up and the damn thing only goes and triggers the flash properly. The camera equivalent of buying a Lanchester and having a turbocharger from an Escort RS Turbo fit straight on...

I just loaded the Canon with film, went out to the garage and took a couple arty shots of the Pontiac with it. Once I've got it back on the road I'll take some more.

wuvvum Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I really am enjoying having a shit old van to tool around in again. It reminds me of my misspent youth when shit old vans were all that was in my price range. I've pretty much always had a van on the fleet, but the last few have been far too civilised, with turbochargers, ECUs, airbags, electric windows etc. The last one even had cruise control FFS. It's nice to go back to basics again. And it's actually quite relaxing to drive - its complete inability to go fast means I don't even bother trying, I just let it trundle along at its own pace. It's great fun. Craig the Princess, LightBulbFun, Jamie and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be a half-pissed massively unobservant bell-end, but what's the problem with that? What got past QC? Looks alright to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Panpan 4x4 rear seats were highly illegal. So as I'm a genius, I folded flat and covered with an invisibility cloak known as a picnic blanket. They rang and said failed mot... Seats don't fit. 😒 I didn't bring up the fact they moved them. I said just remove the seats and mot. OK. 👍🏻 loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older type for flash bulb where flash starts shutter opens and closes then flash stops , newer type (electronic) where shutter opens flash starts and stops then shutter closes.

I suspect most US stuff of that nature is in large part from China, it's impossible to get close to their pricing and stay solvent for low end manufacturing; I think the US operate a percentage system, assemble chinese bits in a shed in Duluth and you get to slap a "Made in the USA" sticker on the box.
