A midprice receiver Fisher RS-1035 made by Sanyo. The tuning section is quite sensitive with good channel separation. Overall, a compact receiver that already be familiar enough with steam 2x40 watts into 4 ohms speakers. With nice front design of this line was tempted formerly the great name of "The Fisher" (made in USA) to a wider audience by means of hi-moderate cost prices make available - now made in Japan. Under the name "Studio Standard by Fisher" the series reached the hifi friends from the mid-70s.

Ein Mittelklasse Receiver Fisher RS-1035 made by Sanyo. Der Empfangsteil ist bei guter Kanaltrennung recht empfindlich. Insgesamt ein kompakter Receiver, der mit 2x40 Watt Leistung an 4 Ohm Speakern bereits ausreichend Dampf machen kann. Mit dem schicken Frontdesign dieser Linie war Sanyo versucht, den vormals grossen Namen von „The Fisher“ (made in USA) einer breiteren HiFi-Zielgruppe mittels moderaten Einstandspreisen - nunmehr made in Japan - zugänglich zu machen. Unter dem Namen „Studio-Standard by Fisher“ erreichte die Serie die HiFi Freunde ab Mitte der 70er Jahre.

David Baily wird nicht jeder kennen aber seine Fotos aus dem turbulenten London der 1960iger und 70iger Jahre sind weltbekannt. Er hat die Hauptfiguren, die diese Epoche mitgeprägt haben, vor der Kamera gehabt. Von Twiggy über Andy Warhol, The Beatles, den Rolling Stones, der Queen bis hin zu Gangsterbrüdern, reicht die Bandbreite der abgelichteten Protagonisten.
Mit der „Olympus Trip35“ hat Baily Geld verdient, er hat für sie geworben. Vermutlich hat dieser Aspekt auch dazu geführt, dass diese kleine, einfach zu bedienende, Kamera Kultobjekt geworden ist.
David Baily won't be known to everyone, but his photos from the turbulent London of the 1960s and 70s are world famous. He has had the main characters who have shaped this epoch on camera. From Twiggy to Andy Warhol, The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Queen to gangster brothers, the spectrum of the protagonists photographed ranges.
Baily earned money with the "Olympus Trip35", he advertised for it. Probably this aspect also led to this small, easy-to-use camera becoming a cult object.
Shot in... Paris with my... Compact camera, it fell in some vodka at some point I think, so it is a bit blurry at the center.
After the mini sized Olympus OM-1, the world of SLRs would never be the same again. Nikon, in particular, never gave a second of importance to compactness. However, by 1978, the Nikon range (with the Nikkormats also) appeared somehow Jurassic in terms of size, hence the FM first, then its automated sister, the FE. The cameras are almost identical, save for some minor points. I once held a FE2 and found the finder to be yellowish and not very bright. For some reason, this FE has a reasonable viewfinder, not dark at all and comfortable enough.
The fit and finish are superb, even on this relatively battered unit. What strikes the most is the mechanical quality. The wind on lever is smooth and silent, a real joy to wind up the film here! The shutter does not clonk, it is very well dampened, much better than my Nikon D300. For the rest, it is a very straight forward aperture priority camera, the only unusual thing is the speed range of the shutter, one can choose manually exposures up to 8 s, the camera being able to expose for several minutes in auto mode.
Here we have a compact SLR (lets not mention the Pentax ME, in order not to demerit Nikon!), slim, yes less than 500 g and virtually indestructible. It may not be a work of art in terms of design, but it surely is in terms of build and quality. Although I don't collect Nikons, this is my 10 th body, I rarely walk away from a sorry looking Nikon, yeah, I know, in the end, I am a sucker for Nikons!

The compact geared 2-axle trucks were inspired by a brilliant truck design by Space2310: www.flickr.com/photos/space2310/4755841352/ . However, it took a couple months of refinements to stop it from falling apart over the course of a nominal 8 hour show day. Consequently the following two part mods are not needed to run - only to enhance reliability:
- The technic toggle joint with pins clipped: www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48496
- The two "C" shaped inserts along the top liftarm are clipped technic track ends.
Note the black 1x2 vertical liftarm "side bearings" on the truck sides which transmit the tender weight to the truck frame just like on the prototype.
