All: I agree with Bob's note here. The DeOxit products made by Caig Laboratories are the best contact cleaners and preservatives around. This stuff was...
Bob, You will find 3 joints where the flex boards meet. They are pressed together by rubber strips. After 20 years these turn to mush and don't press the...
Yeah, I've been watching that one too. Frankly, I can't believe two people bid on it at the starting price! But, am ceratinly happy to see values pushed up, if...
I read recently that the FS-1 and FT-1 were designed to accept alternate backs, but that to the author's knowledge (and I can't remember exactly where I read...
Bob, David, It might work, because the release signals signals pass these connectors, too. Battery power (+) is supplied "directly" to the solenoids and ground...
... Hi, Bob! I have a FT-1 that has a Data Back. AFAIK, it was custom made. It prints any data that you want right in the negative. Used as a normal camera,...
Hi Bob & Hugo, For one, it was common practice by the 1980s for SLR camera backs to be easily removeable in a similar manner. Many have this feature. It makes...
Hi Bob, Hugo and Alan, I have also given this some thought. This is of course just my conclusion, but didn't they forget something essential if the intention...
Hi Erik, My mistake, I need to clarify. I should have written "date back" instead of "data back". I would imagine a date back, which simply imprints the time...
I suppose some of the cameraleather.com options might count as "costumization." I have to admit, though, I'm thinking of the red snakeskin on my FS-1. --Bob ...
Hi Bob, Morgan's kits are highly recommended. cameraleather.com also offers T4/TC kits of real leather that resolve the ugly-shrinking-original- leatherette...
... My T4 has a deep red leatherette, and it looks beautiful! (Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...) Saludos desde Mexico! Hugo Diaz -- "The only...
Hi Alan, Just imprinting date/time would be easier, but wouldn't synch still be needed for the date back to know when to fire? I have seen pictures of the FS-W...
My T4 has red kangaroo leather. I would confirm that red is the best contrast on a black camera body. Very fashionable! Michael in Australia. [Non-text...
My daughter's camera, tho' not a Konica, needed leatherwork so we took it to a local cobbler shop. She wanted baby blue leather and voila, he provided it....
Hello to all, I have to say I am very pleased with the new look of my TCs and T4 in thier new leather outfits. For those curious about how this looks, I ...
Those are gorgeous. I don't think I'd do as well as the die-cut coverings from Cameraleather, though. My biggest problem with Cameraleather is that there are...
I've found that I enjoy the custom look of cameras after I recover them with different leathers. Konicas of course often get shrinkage of the leather over the...
Dave and all, I actually got the 40mm without the rubber grip, so I had to come up with something before the lens got cited for indecent exposure. This red...
... Also try www.micro-tools.com They have a large selection. However, last time I bought some all they offered were philips/crosspoint head... i.e. no slotted...
Okay, so I finally sat and was looking through the FT-1 repair manual tonight and found that it doesn't describe anything about opening up the camera. Is there...
