>>4409651How is having a professional repair something a "stupid" solution? You suggested to buy the same 60 year old camera as if it'll be good as new.
>you were never taught to think criticallyThis coming from the guy who thinks that a 60 year old camera won't ever need serviced, and that a camera serviced by a professional is somehow going to need serviced again in 5 minutes. Holy fuck dude.
>if OP can't find an ebay listing they're obviously not going to be fixing itYou don't need a spare camera to perform basic maintenance. We're talking about cleaning out the mechanism and removing grease that's older than your dad and applying new grease, cleaning out the prism, rewiring the (probably corroded) light sensor, cleaning out mold or dust, things like that. This is basic maintenance, which every camera will have to go through at some point. Again, you don't know anything about cameras so stop trying to give people advice about them. Find a new hobby because this aesthetic shit isn't working out for you.
