Hi from Australia. Welcome to the Pentax forums. 40 years in the trade makes you " Doctor iwctoys." Some members here might ask you for a diagnosis or 2 regarding their cameras !!

Good to have you aboard.

Welcome to the forum, you sound like a guy we should all get to know... just in case.

Welcome to the forum.
Free dinner at my house if you look at some broken lenses while you eat.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm going to one up Norm and offer alcohol with that meal as you look at my broken lenses.

Sorry. maybe we could offer a tour as an incentive, beautiful downtown Oro Station for cocktails and the main course in Whitney ?

Well beautiful down town Whitney has an LCBO, a grocery, a pharmacy and the post office. What else do you need?

Sorry retired but still do repairs mostly to Nikon. Did a lot of Pentax cameras but I am old school film camera. Still have a ton of parts and have my Kyoritsu Ef8000 shutter tester. These days mostly Ebay under iwc. My very active messy repair desk.

I did buy a camera I never did see in Canada. Used to own a Camera store in Calgary called Camtech. Never had a Pentax Motor Drive Camera not sure if they where ever imported into Canada. Snapped this one up from Japan. I love and admire the quality of the older cameras. We will never again see the high build quality of the early camera. Early SP cameras where the best affordable camera available in the 60's and 70's.
