found this old point&shoot film camera that my late gran bought me when i was about 8 or 9, iv had it for ages! i used it abit on my fishing trips about 4 years ago, and it got wet. the emulsion from the film that was in there got all sticky and like glued the little reel that the film spools onto into the body, so it didnt turn anymore.
so i set about taking the little camera apart. damn there were alot of small screws. i cleaned the emulsion off the parts that were stuck together, and they all turned fine again. then i worked out a way to make it still wind the spring up for the shutter, but not advance the film. its rad, i pull the little pin out the bottom of the camera, and hold onto that huge pen sticking out the bottom, and then wind the film advance. the film doesnt move, but the shutter is set for the next shot. then wen im done with the double exposure i just push that pin back in, and voila.
cant wait to try it out. im thinking of maybe putting a piece of tape over half the lens for each exposure, that way the pics wont be too over exposed. ill try it out tonight : )
