Paul -- you should give your S3 an outing ! I used mine for a lot of local Press work then in the 1970;s sold it for £25 then about 6 months ago the bloke to whom I sold it contacted me to ask if i would like "That Old camera you sold me back as it is not working" -- well, he brought it round in a box, all covered with dust and when I looked inside it was my Original S3 bought in Barking for £87 !. So I took off the base-plate and had a look and it seemed seized up -- so I lubricated it with Sewing Machine Oil very small amount on the cogs and levers, then gently wound it on and it 'creaked into life' and has been working ever since !

How nice to get it back Peter! I've got a film in the LX that needs to be finished off and then there's an MX to try out! Followed by an SL, an H3V, an S2 .......! It's never ending!
