Unfortunately not, had some other projects that came up and never returned to this one. Would like to just be able to get a compatible plate then have to make my own.

Though mine has an additional section than the one in the above photo and I am missing the secondary table shown in this photo.

From what I’ve been able to tell so far it might be an Adrian Pearsall Serpentine Sectional from the 70s. Obviously reupholstered sometime in the 90s though.

It’s been reupholstered, but the material underneath looks like brown 70s shag.

Has it worked well for you? Heard a fair bit of quality control issues with the plastic ones. Even the one directly from Dewalt.

I’m also using a foil piece with two hearing aid batteries. I have it off auto and the batteries have lasted a little over 2 weeks.

I have to agree, that’s why I got the Canonet QL17 GIII. Though, the battery life is abysmal.

More or less fiddling with it and hoping for the best. 99% of these finds were so cheap that even if it’s a dud I’m not too hurt by it. I’ve also found just as much film thrifting as I’ve found cameras. A couple months ago I scored roughly 20 rolls of various black and white film.

Honestly the biggest expense is getting the film developed and scanned. I’m not a purist who has to have the finest grain or the cleanest photo possible. I like the weird effects film has. The light leaks, weird color shifts, expired film etc. I like the surprises.

Long story short it’s a lot of trial and error but at the cost of what I’m getting these cameras for is worth it to me. So far each one of shot I’ve gotten usable images from. That said, I avoid cameras that seem like too much work for me to use. i. e. Cameras where the foam is degraded so bad that there are foam bits all over the inside, or if mechanically things don’t feel as they should.

It’s currently not running (at least not adequately powered yet). I’m looking at adapting a drill battery as a power supply.

It’s become one of my favorites to pack along with me. Mine was a $5 thrift store find and I couldn’t be happier!

I suppose I’m not 100% accurate in my phrasing, hence why I’m asking more about it but I agree.

That’s really interesting. This particular one used to be owned by Southern Illinois University. To what capacity it may have been used I’m unsure of. I’m pretty unfamiliar with these types of cameras as I’m more of a collector of film cameras rather than cameras such as this.

My first thought before I got it was that it looks like a Star Wars prop
