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.

PhilA 13578 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 17 hours ago, castros_bro said: Sir, There's two different flask/shutter synchronizations. 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. Houston - you may have a problem. The shutter (Prontor-S) does not have sync adjustment sadly- it's M only so will fire the electronic flash early. I could probably create a delay in the electronics of the flash, but that's an arseache. I'll not likely be taking inside pictures with it anyway so it shouldn't matter.

MarvinsMom 16508 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 me mam's clever with a sewing machine, she has run these new curtains up this week, so that the second hand ikea curtains in our bedroom can FINALLY be replaced. When i moved into home 20 years ago, i put a pair of curtains up that my sister had recently replaced as a "temporary" thing until i got sorted with something better. well, today that has actually happened. Tinky likes them, clever use of the "overlock" apparently..... he doesn't think much of the new "no climbing" rule though! Andyrew, 155V6 and rainagain 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Frogchod 3590 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Twenty years ago this very weekend I was at Tan Hill. Twenty fucking years. Some how I'm still here. Not sure where the GSA is now. It was a lovely thing, Cmatic gearbox was ace, but fuel consumption not so good. Here she is at Le Mans. Jacky is still living with me.... just.

OM646 285 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Today i found out that the Chinesium brand Roewe, in its history page, tells a short resume of the history of Rover, and doesn't hide the fact that they were born out of what remained of Rover. Not so much of a grin, but more of a smile, because in the middle of this, SAIC still has some respect for Rover Link to post Share on other sites
