Hi there!
I have a Pentax S1A that I want to get overhauled and working again.
Here's the thing though, I am trying to deodorize it first. The camera

Peter,
I bought a pristine black MX (for $20! You may hate me if you wish.) from
somebody on Craig's List a couple years ago. It was in a never-ready case
