Where does one get a F1n repaired? The local shops all say "can't work on them; no parts, no experience." They said the factory won't do them either ... So what are the options? Thanks!

Jason, sorry that it did not solve your problem. Just in case ... make sure that you have a fully powered battery in the camera. Remember the "sunny 16" rule.

Butch, with the FN Winder be aware of the film counter that is on the winder itself. If this counter hits 0 then it will stop winding. Press the counter reset button and you should be able to complete the advance by hand.

Alan: I think I have some answers to your questions.

A1: the chrome post on the shutter-dial is designed to use with the AE finder FN. With this finder you can convert the camera to aperture-priority AE.
A2 : The manual revers to the Film Chamber FN100. With this chamber you can put in film for 100 pictures to take. The film chamber has it's own chutter button. for more information on this take a look at Christian Rollinger's website www.canonfd.com kind regards, Jan (the Netherlands)

Hi everyone. I've just bought an F-1N and AE Motor Drive FN - like the earlier reader, I've also found these are within my price bracket due to the digital rush. I have a couple of questions please, that I canont resolve from consulting the manuals.

Q1: Whhat is the chrome post on the shutter-dial for? I can't find any reference to it. I guess it's a link for one of the older viewfinders?
Q2: On the Motor Drive FN, ther's a cover marked FC. The manual says it's a cover for the Film Chamber, but underneath looks like a set of contacts. Are these contacts of any kind? Kind regards Alan (United Kingdom)

My Canon F1New winder is stuck when I exercised (dry clicked) the shutter after being idle for a month or two. I can no longer move the winder as if it has reached a film's last frame. A friend of mine said that all I have to do is to tweak a part somewhere in the body. Can anyone extend a hand regarding this problem?

I picked up a F1new this friday in a very good condition. The Motordrive that came with it is also near mint. It looks like it has never been used. The only thin is somebody put in batteries some 20 years ago and left them their for a long time. You guess they leaked and some (4) of the springs/contacts are gone. I tried to fix it with new springs. However I can not solder (?) the metal of the batterypack, it will not hold. I ficked it up now in McGyver style but it's not good enough for a permanent solution. It's a bit shaky and sometimes I loose contact. So by now you guessed I am looking for a new batterypack FN (only the batteryholder will do) for my motordrive. I've seen one on keh.com but I think it's a bit expensive. Since I am in the Netherlands, they also have quitte a postage and customs are very keen on packages from the US so their is also the customfee and tax.

If anybody has one please let me know. Besides money I have some items to offer in trade: Batterypack MA in mint condition or; 50 mm newFD 1.4 in mint condition or; 28 mm newFD 2.8 in mint condition. Or if anybody can point me in the right direction then please, let me know. Offcourse I will be watching eb*y close until I found one. Thanks! Norbert
