I just found this site while looking for info on one of the many old cameras that I have accumulated. I seem to find a lot of odd cameras that few have heard of. My camera collection resembles the mutts at the dog pound more than an AKC registry. I like to rescue old, unwanted cameras that have been tossed aside because they stopped working or don't fit the owner's lifestyle anymore. I try to stay with 35mm, but I don't turn down a TLR or folder if it looks interesting and the price is right.
My latest find was a Yashica TL Electro X for $3. It looked like it had been in a barn for years. I opened it up and repaired the broken wires and now the shutter works properly. I also fixed the dented filter ring. I may tackle the meter some other time, after I run a roll of film through it.
