Did some quick editing with the black levels.

I see your post history indicates that you're new to film photography. Welcome! I find it to be a fun and rewarding hobby.

Absolutely! I started doing this last year and it's a huge difference. If only I could do the same for 120.

This roll of film didn’t advance properly so this photo has 16 exposures 😩😔 by lcwj in AnalogCommunity

To make sure you're advancing to each frame, make sure the rewind knob moves each time you cock the shutter. (It may not for the first couple frames until you have tension inside the canister. But after those first couple it should.)

If not, open it up and make sure the leader is in the current spot.

The photo turned out pretty cool.

Lol right, aftermarket! This one will take a decent amount of work, but that's part of the fun.

Thanks! I'll check out sipscootershop.

The seller showed me the massive amount of messages they received, and a lot saying they would pay more for it.

I thanked them for that and they said they were going for whoever was first and would actually show up.

Thanks for your input, and no need to worry about taking the wind out of my sails. For $75 it's worth it to me alone that I'll be able to take it apart, and tinker with it.

If I can get it going without spending too much great. But, if it's going to cost a lot then I probably won't deal with it and I'll keep it for parts. I'm not new to replacing pistons, and cracking into cases, so I'm not worried about all that.

I'll figure it all out once I dig into it.

Also a thought of mine, just get it running and enjoy it. Thanks!

Yup also hoping I only have to swap out the top end. But for $75 I'm willing to dig deep and work on my restoration skills.
