LC-A

With some luck she'll work out.

 

I've had this thing about a year. Bought as an organ donor just in case the "Zenit" LC-A failed in some way. Just for kicks I thought I see if it could be resurrected. At least I'd have some idea of what parts/bits worked and what didn't at worst. There was no need to go in deep for any sort of repair major fix.

 

Soldered one wire, pulled lens element.....Something more than dust under the element. One of the battery contacts looked pretty rough. Cleaned up nicely thankfully. One of the boards was literally falling out of place. That needed to be fastened down. Once that boarded was fastened back in place the shutter stopped misbehaving.

 

Oh, yes. I suspect that the adhesive used for the skin is nothing more than lacquer. Sure would be easy to work with and should bond the skin material to the metal body parts well enough.

 

Big hits of 1984.....Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two tribes and the LOMO LC-A. The LC-A still a hit. What Difference Does It Make, right?
