another salut-s

I've been having problems with by Salut-S. The shutter isn't exposing the entire frame from 1/250 and up. Not good. I haven't been too upset since Ken had his Salut-S practically rebuilt, with new shutter, for under $140 at Arax. Then I found that Arax is on vacation for a month and a half. These commies are never going to make it as capitalistic pigs! So I bought another.

One needs a back-up. It was twice as much as the first one but it has the pentaprism and a clean, lube, and adjust, which can mean almost anything. I just got the test roll back and the shutter is working fine. All seems well.

I probably could have returned the first one. I bought a 65mm lens from the same seller and had problems with it and the seller has no problems with exchange but I wanted to get a CLA anyway. I love these cameras.
