Best week in 11 years of camera repair: 14 jobs, zero comebacks, and a Konica that almost beat me
Last week was one of those rare stretches where everything clicked, and I still can't believe it. Monday started with a guy driving 40 miles from Modesto to drop off his grandfather's Konica Auto S2, and the shutter was frozen solid at every speed. I soaked the leaf shutter in lighter fluid for two days, worked the blades by hand, and it fired clean on all settings. Then a local shop sent me 6 Minolta bodies for CLA work, and I knocked out 4 of them by Thursday night with no stripped screws. Best part: not a single customer called back mad. Fourteen cameras out the door, 14 happy people, which almost never happens in this trade. What's your record for jobs in one week without a comeback, and what finally broke the streak?
