I've just completely disassembled broken specimen. I used parts on another one. I wanted to show a specific part i encountered and IMHO will not survive the test of time. Material degraded into something sticky. See the orange thing in the middle already partially pealed off:

Not strange
A lot of even expensive cameras had plastic and rubber parts that go bad. We all know about things like foam light seals and anti vibration parts. I could show you my Pentax LX which in the PK mount world is the top end in cost and quality. Mirror bumpers, electric insulators are degraded and need replacement.

So you are not going to re-assemble it then? Wink

Looks like a nice DIY kit like this!

Human Skull: Trophy & Symbol Of Power
It can be said it's about exhibition about 300 found artifacts from the Age of Empires, major theme being the skull.

At first i did play with idea i will repair / unblock it. Well as usually disassemble didn't go as intended. Now this is great source of parts. Few of them i already used to renovate my other working Ricoh KR10 Super.

On photos there is missing complete electronics / electrics.
