One of those weeks where every shutter kept firing
Had a stretch last Tuesday through Friday where I fixed nine cameras in four days, which is a complete record for my one man shop. Three were simple sensor cleanings, but the standout was a beat up Pentax K1000 with a sticky mirror that just needed a careful hand and some fresh foam. What made it weird was every single repair worked on the first try, no taking things apart twice, no hunting for a lost screw. I usually get at least one stubborn unit that fights me all afternoon, so this pace felt almost suspicious. Has anyone else had a run like that and then gotten slammed with a nightmare batch the next week?

That Pentax K1000 with the sticky mirror is the real hero here. Nine cameras in four days with zero do-overs means the camera gods were smiling on you, and that never lasts. My bet is some poor guy drops off a Canon AE-1 next week with a shutter that fires at every speed except the one you need, and it'll eat your whole Saturday. Last time I had a clean streak like that, the very next job was a lens full of fungus that looked like a science project. Enjoy the win while it's here, because the other shoe always drops.
