Nikon FG in great condition

[Mozziephotography]

Bought a Nikon FG last Sunday night on fleabay. Waited until the last moment and managed to secure a mint film camera for £15. Two batteries and I'm away. I need to learn how to replace light seals, have yet to attempt this.

A messy but not a difficult job, before you start,cut a piece of thin cardboard to cover the shutter and hold it in place with some low tack masking tape, use a stiff brush to remove the remnants of the foam, clean off the glue and residue with some isopropyl alcohol or lighter fluid.

A little tip of fitting the new seals, soak them in water for a few minutes,it stops the glue from sticking on contact,

I'll give it a go on a camera that's broken.

I've used a chap on ebay for the foam in the past. It comes in sheets of varying thickness, and it's just a question of cutting it into strips, as needed.
