As a quick follow-up to our post about John Hora’s Mitchell MK III: the camera has found a new home with my dear friend Mark Mervis who has spent countless frustrating hours cleaning rotted and broken belts out of its inner workings. Mark has managed to identify the correct parts from the shards and goo left inside the camera, and has brought it back to life.
Additionally, Mark sent me some photos showing the progress of the repair, and a short video of the camera running for the first time in who knows how many years. Exciting!
