Hi,
For what it is worth my Super A is still going now the same as when I walked out of the store in 1985! I have added its dedicated winder, which can go through the film in constant mode incidentally! I have also attached a Data back as well. I think that the Super A and Super Program are the same cameras, just different markets.
The Super A does have electronics and with an A series lens the aperture can be set from within the camera.
Regards,
Gordon.

Hi All,
I have two Asahiflex 1's
The quickest way to identify one is they only have one flash port on the front where the later ones have two flash ports.
Their serial numbers are all below 30,000.
The correct lens serial numbers are close to the cameras serial number.
Regards,
Gordon.

Hi,
Pentax made three adapters, that I am aware of.
(i) 6x7 or 67 to 35mm
(ii) 6x7 or 67 to 645
(iii) 645 to 35mm
These are all manual adapters so yes you can use your 300mm 6x7 or 67 lenses on your K1 with the appropriate ad adapter and the results are well worth the trouble!
Regards,
Gordon.

Hi Rob,
I am present working at Julia Creek which is located two hundred and sixty kilometers east of Mount Isa heading towards Townsville in North Queensland.
They have not had any rain apart from some isolated storms since the disastrous floods in February last year.
Most of the graziers are feeding either molasses or other dry feed supplements to their stock as they wait for much needed wet season.
Hope all is well with you and the rest of our community.
Regards,
Gordon.

Hi
What I have done is used a Slope brand 1000 liter cafe type drinks fridge.
I removed the refrigerator unit which is totally self contained on top of this storage cabinet. You have two openings to then seal off and one opening at the bottom internally to seal off.
I then mounted two dehumidifiers that are rated for over 800 liters in the interior rear wall. These are the same design as the ones that are fitted to the Wonderful brand of dehumidifiers. A hygrometer is required to sit on one of the shelves to get the required humidity as the dehumidifiers are adjustable.
Any further information just message me as as I have done three for myself for my collection.
Regards,
Gordon.

Hi,
The motor was designed by Repco, a motor repairing company here in Australia at the time. It looked the same as the standard 308 cubic inch Holden motor at the time but was actually based on the motor that took Jack Brabham to his world championships. The motor was strong but because the driveline was designed for 240 horsepower and the motor was putting out somewhere around 300 horsepower it was pretty fragile in that area. I used to get about 25,000 miles out of the gearbox so you can imagine the problems on the race track.
To solve the gearbox, brakes and differential problems in 1977 an uprated version was released with a Borg Warner T10 gearbox option, a Salisbury differential and disc brakes on the rear. Peter Brock in 1979 won the 1000km Bathurst Classic Race by six laps and set the fastest lap of the race on the last lap! The road going version of this car did not have the L34 race engine as it would not pass the anti - pollution laws that were brought in in 1976. They were allowed to use this engine on the race track.
Regards,
Gordon.

Hi,
I had the following on a Holden Tirana here in Queensland, Australia. The vehicle was a performance version of which only 260 were built to make it eligible for our annual Bathurst race in 1974. It was an L34 variant with a special motor and upgraded brakes. I used a combination of my initials GML plus it was a GM product to give GML 34. It was a potent car for it's day and has become a collectors vehicle here in Australia. I don't have it anymore because if I did I would not have a license to drive as I used to use its performance to its maximum. I still have the number plates as memories.
Regards,
Gordon.
