LIGHT SEAL PROBLEMS

The light seal on this camera has crumbled away making the camera useless but is easily and cheaply replaced by the open cell foam


Many older cine cameras use foam to hold the film and batteries in place. As can be seen above this quickly rots away, particularly if the batteries are left in the camera for any length of time	It is surprising how much light seal some cameras actually require and if any one of these seals fails then the camera is useless, but with the application of the open cell foam seal it can be cheaply restored
