I forgot to mention, if you wanted to buy the foam and send it across, I'd still be happy to do it
I've bought from here before and it's been excellent quality...

I would offer to do it, gratis, but I think I've misplaced the foams I have (read, had) here.
I've found that with cleaning out the old foams (lots of toothpicks and isopropanol) and installing the new foams takes probably less than an hour.

Many other forums have a "report this post to moderators" button, which would be handy. I for one would like to be able to help out the mods by reporting the spam.
Click that and you'll be able to submit that to moderators, and it'll relate to the page that you're on when you clicked that button.
I've used that before and it seems to work.

Received today, thank you Mr Lennybloke!
Lens looks flawless to me, operates wonderfully.
I don’t know why I ever sold my pk/a version, I’m looking forward to taking this one out.
I didn't really get much use out of it - but I'm sure you will

I've recently offloaded the PK/A version because I wasn't using it 'enough', but I'm sorely tempted by this.
What is going through my head?

I recently 'discovered' again my old cameras. An ME Super and a P30, both last used about 1990 and am trying to get them going again for old times sake. I saw some very old messages on here from about 10 years ago mentioning the main things to do to cure common problems usually consist of - new batteries / checking battery terminals, giving them a good shake/thump ! warming them in the sun etc.
I've tried these and the ME Super is now generally working fine but occasionally winding on a few times before the shutter fires but the P30 is not showing a light meter reading until after the shutter has fired.
I can understand the need to heat up the cameras as the internal lubricant may have hardened but is there a way to stop it re-hardening again as the ME Super is fine for a while but left a few days the problem re-occurs.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks - Dave.
