If it's still working fine, I would strongly suggest against disassemble it. I would highly recommend you put it inside a sealed (GLAD or ZipLock is good) plastic with lots of silica gel for a month. Disassemble a camera could be fun, but not so when you had no experience and disaster will likely to happen. If it's working fine now, I don't see why it will fail later, unless something is rusting inside. Since MZ-3 is not a sealed camera, silica gel should be able to draw all the moisture out. So don't worry too much imo. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
