They're pretty much bulletproof in my experience, with one notable exception: the battery door is prone to breaking. The plastic / polycarbonate material where that the thumbwheel screws into will eventually disintigrate and break. Having said that, it took 20 years for mine to so that! After that it's a big blob of 'gaffer' tape. Dunnon what you'd call it stateside, or anywhere else. Duct tape? Thick fabric tape. Actually, on mine, the thumbwheel bolt itself broke! I fashioned a new one out of a metal bolt complete with detents fot thumbnail to tighten / loosen.Then I screwed it up tight and wham - but the female nut bit. D'oh! Just tighten *enough* to secure battery door - do not overtighten and you will be fine. Good luck, Cotty _______________________________________________________ Personal email traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacAds traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out the UK Macintosh ads http://www.macads.co.uk - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
