I was struggling with a sluggish shutter until I listened to the mechanism's rhythm. Paying attention to the subtle whirrs and clicks helped me pinpoint the issue without taking everything apart. It's a simple trick that saves a lot of time.
Sorting through it reminded me how we used to fix things with whatever we had on hand. I mean, now it feels like everything is sealed up or needs a new board, which just adds to the junk pile. Do you ever keep old parts around for repairs instead of ordering new ones?
