Yet more Canon Dial mending

New dial and its inspiration

Over the weekend I bought yet another Canon Dial from those lovely folks at West Yorkshire Cameras. It was sold as “broken” from their outlet store. They handed it to me and then gave me a plastic bag holding the side rubbers which had been removed as part of an attempted repair.

I’ve been playing with it and It now works fine. All I had to do was remove the winder and free off the gears inside and add the tiniest amount of oil. Then I stuck the rubbers back on. Joy of joys, the meter works! I’m not sure what it is about these cameras that I like so much, but I’ve now got a couple that I can use which is nice.
