First Cut Is The Deepest



Another monday.

left home a lil earlier today,i went out to peninsula plaza to consult the camera 'Guru' with the yashica rangefinder that i bought the other day for a mere $65,a classic chrome 70s electro 35.

was a bit worried when the previous owner told me that i gotta use 4 button cells wrapped it up with scoth tape and get a spring,long enough to get electrical contact,inside the hollow batt slot.

so last night i bought few types of batt,turned out was not good.

and i told myself,i had to go see the camera specialist.

so i was there earlier,the old man who attended to me looked wise;i bet he could strip a camera and assemble every bits blindfolded,he is the Yoda of the present time,i think...

anyway,i related to him what that dude who sold me the cam,he slowly stretched his wrinkly hands under the shelves and showed me a 6v batt(like AA batt,only slimmer and smaller),exactly the same as wrapping up the 1.5v X04 button cells together,told me the same thing,only additional tip was that i have to slip a one cent or 5 cents coin so that it could get the electric contact and flow.superb!

got back at work,first thing i did before checkin the mails,got em out of the box and experiment-TADAAAAAAA!!!!!!IT JOLLY WORKED,MATE!!!!

cool,now i can go electro retro!(don't tell ebok!!!)

WOOHOO!!!!
