>>4376082That's normal color, anon. You should try sunscreen.
>>4376083Thanks Anon. I need to fix the movement (balance wheel stops oscillating after a few seconds so it's either the balance spring needing to be replaced or there being dirt or damage along the train of wheels.) and clean the hands but I have recurring nightmares about messing up (I've never worked on a movement worth more than 100 dollars before)) so I've put it off.
>>4376100Nice anon, welcome to pee!
I've had a couple D70s and D70Ss pass through my hands repairing them so I could give cheap birthday gifts, which are basically the same camera(identical autofocus module, VERY similar Sony CCD sensor) but worse in most ways.
While the power delivery boards in your camera are different, it uses the same ENEL3 batteries which are a little weirdly behaved when it comes to temperature.
My main advice is, if you get the CHA/CHR error and/or your camera has problems reading your CF memory card,
ignore the forum users from 2005 that all say it has anything to do with your cards being third party.
Nikon didn't make their own CF cards, they're just SanDisks or Lexars with a Nikon sticker (it's a good-looking sticker, but the camera really should not care, if it's a non-UDMA Type I formatted in FAT16 from a company with a real address and the pins aren't busted the card is pretty much is never the problem).
Any problems with card-reading and/or batteries is 9 times out of 10 to do with voltage-related instability in my (limited) experience. This is usually fixed by just cleaning your contacts, or reseating the battery after warming or cooling it in your hands. Unlikely this happens with your particular camera, but if it does, I just saved you from waiting a week for a new Nikon branded CF card off eBay.
Enjoy your camera!
