I've seen pictures of bent blades from when the rubber goes completely! It ain't pretty. And, hey that rubber was put there for a reason. My good old EOS 10QD had that problem. My father in law gave it to me, it had only a few rolls put through it but sat for about 10 years. I put maybe 20 rolls through it and then the rubber went. I ended up throwing the camera out. Not worth repairing. I first cleaned it and got another roll through it then it got really bad and started missing frames. My friend who repairs them could not do the 10 because it is much more complicated. I took it apart to find out how complicated it would be, and wow, there sure was alot of 'guts' to remove before you could get at that rubber piece. Basically you'd have to totally disassemble every part inside then rebuild it. -- Jim Davis Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com Replies in plain text only please! * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
