Canon Dial 35 Cleaning

Those tiny little dots in the plastic bag in the middle are the screws that hold the winder in place

I’m not sure if people really want to know the saga of my Canon Dial 35. But it’s my blog. So there.

Anyhoo, today I thought I’d get to the bottom of the the sluggish way that the camera was winding on after each photograph. I was able to take the winder off the bottom of the camera and use a whole bunch of cotton buds to clean muck off the inside. I then added a tiny bit of oil (too much oil is a really bad thing in cameras like this) and then put it all together.

And it works. Go me. The wind on is now very smooth and positive.
