My camera is charged only when I'm ready to shoot, guess I'm a sticker for instructions, manufacturers are always correct.
Is the Paxette a I or IM

Perhaps instead of the Kodak Junior II, this is the one you are looking for :
Kodak Junior I : For 8 exposures 3.25x2.25in., on 620 film. Lightweight body, self-erecting, optical direct-vision finder. Meniscus lens, no distance or aperature setting, sharp pictures from 8 ft. to infinity, shutter for instantaneous and Time. Delivery not before August 1954 Price £5.15.11, Canvas Case 8/11, Leather sling Case £1.9.10
Interesting Note on the Catalogue for Leica & Rolleiflex Cameras :
Cameras are at present not freely available owing to import restrictions. Genuine priorty needs are, however, considered by The Board of Trade. Dated July 1954
On the catalogue, They had the Logo : By appointment to The late King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
I wonder if Wallace Heaton Ltd. still exist, Regards

Mickey,
You're right, just to look and research about an equipment gives me enjoyment and satisfaction, each time I get a camera, I'll take the trouble to buy the relevant books about it, the books written by Ivor Matanle on collecting and using Classic Cameras and Classic SLRs is my camera Bible.
My love of camera started when I bought my first SLR to record the birth of my daughter, she's now coming to 48, collection in the begining was slow, still it was fun trying to budget for a camera, collection was on an upgrading basis, each time I upgrade , I kept my old camera, like I could not part with my pet.
Regards
Hye

When you hit the 70s, rushing will be out of the question, Mickey, its one step at a time, so it will probably be several lifetime before I can even hit the hundreds. Regards

Hi,
Welcome and glad to have you share your passion with us.
The only Minolta I have is the XD 7 and its being used quite frequently, we've always have cats in the house but never a Manx.
Regards

Its a pity the bulk of the British car industry went out of business in the 70s and 80s, I remember just after the war back in my original country we see mainly British Cars and the odd European and American cars but no Japanese cars.
Good that Morgan is still very much alive and they are great cars, if ever I strike the Loto, I'll make a bee line to place an order at their Malvern works and it will be in BRG.

Ian, you're lucky, every year for my birthday I get either a shirt or a pair of pants from my wife, and 2 daughters. Still, I cannot complain, they organise a great lunch, prepared by my better half.
