What a waste of what looks to have been quite a nice example!

I've got a dozen or so M42 bodies (mostly Prakticas and Zenits) that I can't even give away so I was thinking of doing something similar. I have a friend who's a framemaker and I figured they'd look quite cool hung on a wall. If my prototype goes well I'll post some pictures.

Flog them to pubs!I've got a dozen or so M42 bodies (mostly Prakticas and Zenits) that I can't even give away so I was thinking of doing something similar. I have a friend who's a framemaker and I figured they'd look quite cool hung on a wall. If my prototype goes well I'll post some pictures.
I knew somebody who, I think, bought hats, cut them in half, mounted them in frames and sold them to pubs. Y'know its atmospheric. And makes up for the cheap swill they're all necking.
Lurking is shirking.!

It reminds me of a photograph of a £45000 Sony Broadcast camera that fell from a helipcopter, the maintenance guys assembled the myriad of parts (the largest of which was the Sony badge) for insurance purposes and labeled the photograph 'Exploded diagram of a Sony Digibeta Camera'

I guess the real challenge would be putting all back together again.
